Florida Senate Race Pits Ashley Moody’s Record Against Angie Nixon’s Affordability Message
Nixon’s campaign leans on progressive organizing and a $11 million war chest as Republicans warn her agenda is too far left.
- On Tuesday, Florida voters decide the U.S. Senate race between Republican Senator Ashley Moody and Democratic state Representative Angie Nixon, with the winner serving the final two years of Marco Rubio's term.
- Moody, appointed by Governor Ron DeSantis in 2025, emphasizes economic policies and law enforcement, while Nixon, a democratic socialist who secured 56% of the primary vote, campaigns on affordability and grassroots organizing.
- Recent University of North Florida polling shows a competitive race, with Moody leading 49% to 45% among likely voters, as campaigns clash over Nixon's ties to the Democratic Socialists of America and a grand jury report involving the Hope Florida program.
- Moody has labeled Nixon a "radical socialist" during rallies and in attack ads; this rhetoric echoes language Republicans historically deploy against Democrats in a state with a large diaspora of Hispanic voters who fled left-wing authoritarian governments.
- If elected, Nixon would become Florida's first Black U.S. senator; her campaign has raised about $11 million, representing a shift from the Democratic Party's typical reliance on centrist candidates in a state favoring Republicans for decades.
