The Florida Primary's Progressive Punch: What it Means for Democrats and Their Chances in November The Democratic establishment in Washington has just been dealt a surprise blow by the people of Florida, who chose Angie Nixon, a democratic socialist candidate, over Alex Vindman in Tuesday's primary.
