    This is not a trivial win!

    she won by a clear margin. Nixon received 56.1% of the vote … ahead of Vindman’s 43.9%.

    Congratulations to Angie Nixon. beating Alexander Vindman is quite an accomplishment, he was not a bad candidate for a democrat. Testifying against Trump in 2019 brought him a lot of respect, and he had more campaign money too!

      IMO he was a pretty bad candidate. He gave the dems several news cycles of criticizing Trump when he testified before congress so he was kind of gifted this race by the party. He’s as milquetoast as they come and completely unproven as he’s never run for anything else. He would have gotten creamed in the general. We’ll see how a DSA candidate performs in a statewide election in Florida.
