Moody Blasts Media After Nixon's 12-Point Florida Primary Upset

Summary
Ashley Moody said Angie Nixon’s 12-point Democratic Senate primary win over Alex Vindman looked shocking only because media outlets treated him as the presumed nominee and failed to scrutinize Nixon.
Vindman raised $16 million to Nixon’s less than $1 million, skipped requests for a debate and still had more than $6 million left on primary day, while no credible public polling measured the race.
Moody is already casting Nixon as a vulnerable general-election opponent, tying her to the Democratic Socialists of America after more than 705,000 voters backed her in the primary.
Nixon joined DSA in June but said this week she does not support some of its positions; Moody and other Republicans plan to use that affiliation to brand her as too far left in the two-month campaign ahead.
