华盛顿——佛罗里达州州众议员安吉·尼克松是一名民主社会主义候选人，她意外击败更温和的对手，赢得佛罗里达州参议院竞选的民主党提名。她周三表示，“这无关标签”。
“这不一定是社会主义信息，也不一定是进步主义信息，”尼克松在《哥伦比亚广播公司早间节目》中说道。“这实际上只是关乎人民的需求。”
尼克松在周二的初选中击败了亚历克斯·文德曼，将在11月与共和党参议员阿什利·穆迪展开角逐。她的胜利是进步左翼候选人一系列胜利中的最新一例，其中包括多名民主社会主义者，这凸显了中期选举的一个关键动态：民主党内部正就党的未来愿景存在分歧。
但尼克松周三淡化了分歧和标签，称“人们想要的东西都是一样的”，并指出这些需求是“健康、富足和安全”。
“他们希望确保有人捍卫他们应得的权利，也就是医疗保健、住房和投票权，这一点正在产生共鸣，民众对此表示支持，”她说。
尼克松自2020年起在佛罗里达州议会代表杰克逊维尔地区的部分选区。她表示自己最近刚加入美国民主社会主义者组织，同时也提到自己最近加入了工人家庭党。她说：“我告诉大家，我本身没有任何改变。”
“我会站在他们这边，认真倾听他们的声音，继续为他们和他们的需求而战，”尼克松说道。
在她竞选期间倡导的一些进步派优先事项上，包括《全民医保法案》和免费普及托儿服务与学前教育，尼克松认为这些议题凸显了跨党派的健康与安全担忧。她表示，这些政策可以通过对超级富豪征税来筹集资金。
更广泛地说，尼克松认为佛罗里达人“受够了华盛顿特区的现状”。
“他们意识到体制已经瘫痪，像未经过选举产生的阿什利·穆迪和唐纳德·特朗普这样的人，工作越来越不上心，同时却越来越富有，”尼克松说道。
穆迪去年被任命填补国务卿马可·卢比奥留下的参议院席位。这位前佛罗里达州总检察长目前正在竞选完成卢比奥剩余的任期，该任期将于2029年初结束。
尽管对手、温和派候选人文德曼投入了大量资金竞选，尼克松仍取得了胜利。文德曼是美国国家安全委员会的吹哨人，曾在特朗普的第一次弹劾审判中作证而全国知名。被问及她如何赢得选举时，尼克松表示，作为一名前单身母亲，她懂得“如何精打细算”；作为一名社区组织者，她说“我们努力工作，挨家挨户与每个人沟通”。
“这正是我和文德曼先生之间的不同之处，”尼克松说。“这也将是我和阿什利·穆迪之间的不同之处。”

Democratic socialist candidate Angie Nixon says “it’s not about labels” after Florida Senate primary victory
August 19, 2026 / 10:04 AM EDT / CBS News
By Kaia Hubbard
Washington — Florida state Rep. Angie Nixon, a democratic socialist candidate who pulled off an upset victory over a more moderate opponent to win the Democratic nomination in the Florida Senate race, said on Wednesday that “it’s not about labels.”
“It’s not necessarily a socialist message or a progressive message,” Nixon said on “CBS Mornings.” “It’s actually just about the needs of people.”
Nixon defeated Alex Vindman in Tuesday’s primary, setting up the race against GOP Sen. Ashley Moody in November. Her victory is the latest in a series of wins by progressive-left candidates, including a number of democratic socialists, which have underscored a key midterm dynamic as the party grapples with differing visions for its future.
But Nixon downplayed the divisions and labels on Wednesday, saying that “people want the same things,” pointing to being “healthy, prosperous, and safe.”
“They want to make sure that people are looking out for these rights that they deserve, which are healthcare, which are housing, which are voting rights, and it’s actually resonating, and they’re supportive of them,” she said.
Nixon, who’s represented portions of the Jacksonville area in the Florida statehouse since 2020, said she just recently became a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, while noting that she also recently became a member of the Working Families Party. She said “I let people know that nothing’s changed about me.”
“I am someone who’s going to stand up for them to make sure that I listen to them and continue to fight for them and what their needs are,” Nixon said.
On some of the progressive priorities she’s campaigned on, including Medicare for All and free universal childcare and pre-K, Nixon argued that the issues underscore concerns about health and safety that cross party lines. She indicated that the policies could be paid for with taxes on the ultra-rich.
More broadly, Nixon argued that Floridians are “fed up with what’s happening in Washington, D.C.”
“They realize that it’s broken and that people like unelected Ashley Moody and Donald Trump are working less and less and less, and meanwhile getting richer,” Nixon said.
Moody was appointed to the Senate last year to replace Secretary of State Marco Rubio. The former Florida attorney general is now running to serve out the remainder of his term, which ends in early 2029.
Nixon’s victory came despite a well-funded campaign by her opponent, the more moderate Vindman, a National Security Council whistleblower who gained national attention when he testified in President Trump’s first impeachment trial. Asked how she secured her victory, Nixon said as a former single mom, she knows “how to make a dollar stretch,” and as a community organizer, she said “we work hard, and we go and speak to everyone.”
“And that’s what the difference was between me and Mr. Vindman,” Nixon said. “And that’s going to be the difference between me and Ashley Moody.”
