Florida Senate candidate Angie Nixon is distancing herself from the Democratic Socialists of America platform ahead of her general election matchup against Sen. Ashley Moody (R-FL).
Nixon, who defeated centrist Democrat Alex Vindman in a major upset victory this week, is ditching the socialist label that she ran on in the Democratic primary, saying she joined the DSA as a card-carrying member mainly because of the group’s support for universal healthcare. She told NBC News on Thursday that she is a “capitalist who believes that we need some strong regulation.”
