## Summary

Florida Democratic Senate nominee Angie Nixon was unable to say whether she identifies as a capitalist or socialist when asked in a Politico interview, saying she identifies as a Black woman and former single mother who wants others to avoid the hardship she experienced. Her comments drew criticism from Republican Sen. Ashley Moody’s campaign and a Turning Point USA spokesman, as the Florida Senate race entered its final week.

Nixon said she lives in a capitalist society and supports strong social programmes and safety nets, which she has used herself. The interview also followed a dispute over her remarks about Cuba: Nixon said she believed Cubans who had described its government as a dictatorship, and CBS News later acknowledged its social media post had misrepresented her answer. Nixon has pushed back against political labels and said she will focus on working people, retirees and people with disabilities.
