Bernie Sanders, Chris Murphy, and Ro Khanna are coming to Florida to campaign with Angie Nixon

Bernie Sanders will bring his Fighting Oligarchy Tour to Florida for four events with Senate candidate Angie Nixon, who trails Republican incumbent Ashley Moody by roughly seven points in polling averages. Sanders has already given Nixon's campaign $250,000 and an endorsement after she upset Alex Vindman in the primary despite being badly outspent.

Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy and California Rep. Ro Khanna, both weighing 2028 presidential runs, are also booking separate campaign dates with Nixon in Orlando. Murphy told Politico he wants to raise 'serious money' for a race he admits looks like a 'longer shot.' House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has hinted he may show up too.

Sanders' itinerary notably skips South Florida, where his 2020 comments praising Fidel Castro caused lasting damage with Cuban-American voters. One stop at Tampa's Cuban Club has already drawn fire from a local Republican House candidate who called the venue's choice 'beyond disgusting.' Moody, meanwhile, gets her own Washington reinforcement this week when Senate Majority Leader John Thune campaigns on her behalf.
