Emma Vigeland says national Democrats are not giving Angie Nixon the support she should get
Emma VigelandCo-host of The Majority Report
On The Majority Report, Emma Vigeland says Angie Nixon is not getting the support she should from national Democrats and accuses establishment Democrats of abandoning left-wing candidates or subverting their campaigns to appeal to donors.
“Angie Nixon is not getting the requisite support from the National Democrats that she should. And so, like, even in the general elections, these freaks, these like loser Democrats are either abandoning candidates that are on the left or trying to subvert the most effective parts of their campaign in order to appeal to a donor base.”

Where this statement fits
Are national Democrats holding back money from Angie Nixon's Florida Senate campaign because of her ideology and identity?
On September 24, 2026, Angie Nixon, the Democratic nominee for the Florida U.S. Senate seat held by Republican Sen. Ashley Moody, told MS NOW that national Democratic leaders are reluctant to fund her campaign and gave two explanations: her progressive politics, and her race and gender. A spokesperson for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) told MS NOW the committee monitors all races closely, including Florida. The committee's executive director, Devan Barber, has said additional investments require additional resources. Federal Election Commission (FEC) filings on record as of September 30, 2026 show a joint fundraising committee that includes the DSCC, a $5,000 contribution from a leadership PAC the FEC lists under Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, and DSCC transfers totaling $24,000 to the Democratic Executive Committee of Florida in its July and August reports, but most of the period since the August 18 primary has not yet been reported. This case sets out what each side has said and what the filings show. It does not decide why national Democrats have spent what they have.
