⭕️ “For every $32 that Ashley Moody has right now, Angie Nixon has $1.”
Data analyst Nathan Jun says the Democratic Party has withheld funding from Nixon even as a poll shows the Florida Democratic Senate nominee running neck and neck with the Republican incumbent. He asks why Democrats call Black women “the backbone” of the party but won’t invest in a candidate who won her primary despite being heavily outspent.
MS NOW’s Ayman Mohyeldin says Nixon faces two hurdles with party leaders: she is a Black woman running in the South, and she is a progressive. Democrats have been slow to back candidates who build support outside the party establishment, he explains, even when those candidates show they can win.
