A new poll in the U.S. Senate race in Florida has the contest in a dead heat. According to a new St. Pete Polls survey conducted for Florida Politics, incumbent Republican Sen. Ashley Moody — who was appointed by Gov. Ron DeSantis — is tied with her Democratic challenger, progressive State Rep. Angie Nixon, at 45% each. Nixon joins "Morning Joe" to discuss the race and the issues she says Florida voters care about most.

It was publicly labeling the grand jury’s findings a “hoax” and a lie. That is […] The post $10 Million Stolen in Plain Sight: Relabeled, Rerouted, Then Denied appeared first on StoneZone .
After the sealed Hope Florida presentment leaked this week to CBS News Miami , Gov. Ron DeSantis’s primary focus was not the $10 million from a settlement with Medicaid contractor Centene for overbilling Florida’s Healthy Kids program, which insures low-income children. It was publicly labeling the grand jury’s findings a “hoax” and a lie. That is not the response of a governor absorbing a report about taxpayer money. It is the response of a man protecting the people he promoted. The money moved. Then they were appointed to higher office. There was, he said, no diversion of Medicaid funds. The only crime “was whoever leaked the grand jury report,” and there would be “consequences.” Attorney General James Uthmeier…Open
Three progressive Democratic Senate candidates are invoking Jesus Christ to defend policy positions that include socialism, transgender advocacy, and open defiance of their own party's establishment, a strategy that reveals more about the left's political desperation than its theology.

Three progressive Democratic Senate candidates are invoking Jesus Christ to defend policy positions that include socialism, transgender advocacy, and open defiance of their own party's establishment, a strategy that reveals more about the left's political desperation than its theology. Florida state Rep. Angie Nixon, the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate, stood before the congregation at Saint Paul AME Church in Jacksonville on Aug. 23 and addressed the criticism that has trailed her since she joined the Democratic Socialists of America in June. She did not push back on the "radical" label. She embraced it, and reached for the highest possible company. "They are trying, y'all. They are trying... to label me as this extremist, this…Open

Florida's new Democratic Senate nominee, Angie Nixon , and the state party's chair had a heated conversation Friday which included a yelling match about the impact of socialism and the challenges of campaigning in a red state like Florida, three people familiar with the conversation tell Axios. Why it matters: The conflict exposes the fault line in the party between the progressive base embodied by Nixon and the establishment represented by the state party's chair, Nikki Fried. - Democrats already face an uphill battle in their effort to unseat Republican Sen.

Immediately after her shocking upset in Florida 's Democratic Senate primary, state Rep. Angie Nixon made clear she isn't really a socialist — even though she'd just joined the Democratic Socialists of America. Why it matters: Nixon's win is being cast as a DSA victory , but the organization neither endorsed her nor saw it coming. She ran as a big-tent leftist, linking progressive movements and party institutions in unlikely alliances. - "I don't campaign as a member of any organization," she told Axios, echoing comments she made to MSNOW and CBS. "I don't believe in labels." - Nixon said she joined the DSA because she supports its fights over housing, public education, corporate power and — above all — Medicare for All . The…
