Angie Nixon won the Democratic US Senate primary in Florida on Tuesday, securing an upset victory over Alexander Vindman, a former National Security Council official who testified during President Donald Trump's 2019 impeachment hearings.
The result defied a stark financial disparity: Nixon's campaign held $975,000 compared to Vindman's $16.3 million as of the end of July. Vindman raised roughly 16 times more than his opponent over the course of the race.
Nixon now advances to the general election against Republican Ashley Moody, who won her party's primary on Tuesday. The winner will serve the final two years of former Senator Marco Rubio's term.
