Ashley Moody defends Florida's Senate seat, defeats DSA-aligned Angie Nixon

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

48% : Nixon's relatively new membership in the Democratic Socialists of America, a group that never stepped in to help her during the Primary, was used to hit the Democrat, especially as she sought votes in immigrant-rich South Florida.
44% : Moody, who through most of the election cycle stayed out of a Hope Florida scandal involving spending against ballot measures opposed by DeSantis in 2024, was drawn into the discussion after a leaked grand jury report showed her Office was consulted before a Medicaid settlement was diverted through a nonprofit to avoid ever becoming public revenue.
42% : She didn't gain the confidence of the donor class during the Democratic Primary, where she faced Alex Vindman, a whistleblower whose testimony led to Trump's impeachment in his first term and gave him a national profile he leveraged into more than $16 million in fundraising for his Senate campaign.
39% : The socialist branding stung her hard after Nixon, when asked during a CBS News interview whether Cuba was a dictatorship, said she would have to take other people's word for it.
39% : "Socialist Angie can't answer if Cuba is a dictatorship?
20% : "Ashley Moody is a lying, cheating, thieving, scamming person who basically took $10 million from sick kids for the Medicaid program," Nixon said in an interview on CNN.
