⭕️ Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer is keeping campaign money away from Florida’s Black pro-Palestine progressive Democratic Senate nominee Angie Nixon. She asked for support, and his answer, she says, was “We’ll see.”
The DSCC is Democrats’ Senate campaign arm. Its chair selected by Schumer, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, has asked other senators to help Nixon, but Nixon says she is still waiting for a commitment from the committee to help keep her TV ads on air.
Nixon believes national Democrats may be hesitating to support her because she is a progressive Black woman running in the South. There is also a sharp divide over Gaza. Nixon calls Israel’s assault a genocide and has pledged to block U.S. weapons transfers. Schumer and Gillibrand both voted in April against advancing a measure to block an arms sale to Israel, even as most Senate Democrats supported it.
