Angie Nixon delivers her concession speech after losing the Florida Senate race.
Moody will have to run again for a full term in 2028. Given how close the matchup between Moody and Nixon ended up, the energetic progressive insurgent is expected to try again.
âThe skyâs the limit for her because now she also has a national following because her campaign has gotten so much national attention, and it also shows the power of grassroots campaigning,â says Austin. âEven though she didnât win the election, a lot of people really listened to her, and she had a message that a lot of people really wanted to hear.â

All three were endorsed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani in their competitive primary races.
Well that was a night. The glad spectacle of a newly sentient America tottering back to its capacious ideals was dubbed Orange Crush, Bluenami, a political earthquake, a wily tweak to Hegsethâs coveted public execution and âone of the great acts of defiance in American history.â It was both landslide too big to rig or stop and âextinction-levelâ rout. Above all, it was a thunderous rejection of fear, greed, lies, cruelty, war-mongering, authoritarianism. Tell your kids, urged Abdul El-Sayed, âThe bad guys lost.â
„Trump ignored affordability completely,“ another Republican aide told Fox News Digital. „Ousted good members a la Cornyn, Tillis who knew how to win tough races, and poisoned the baseâs opinion of our majority with his SAVE Act/filibuster bulls—.“
