FLORIDA — Angie Nixon is the projected winner of Florida's Democratic Senate primary. Angie Nixon will take on Sen. Ashley Moody, who was appointed to the Senate seat in 2025.

Moody served as Florida's Attorney General until she was appointed to the Senate seat Marco Rubio vacated in 2025 after his appointment to President Trump's cabinet.

Tampa Bay 28 political reporter Forrest Saunders said Nixon has also developed a reputation as an outspoken protester. She used a bullhorn during the fight over Florida’s new congressional maps and was later charged following a sit-in demonstration at the governor’s office.
