- Ashley Moody beat Angie Nixon by three points in Florida.

## Summary

Democratic Socialists of America backed candidates were projected to win at least four House races, increasing the number of DSA lawmakers from two to six. The gains in Democratic strongholds would give the group a larger presence in Congress, while Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rashida Tlaib also won re-election.

The article says 42 of 221 DSA-backed candidates in federal, state and local contests had won, with many races still too close to call. DSA-backed Janeese Lewis George won Washington DC’s mayoral race, and David Morales was elected mayor of Providence. In Florida, Republican Ashley Moody defeated socialist Democrat Angie Nixon by three points in a special Senate election.
