Senate Nominee and Democratic Chair Have Heated Call

“Florida’s new Democratic Senate nominee, Angie Nixon, and the state party’s chair had a heated conversation Friday that 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,” Axios reports.

“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.”
