RNC Statement on the Florida Senate Race

Press Release

Washington D.C. – Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Joe Gruters released the following statement on the Florida Senate Race:  


“Angie Nixon is an unhinged nut job who shouldn’t be anywhere near a position of power. Meanwhile, Senator Ashley Moody is delivering what Floridians actually care about: more money in families’ pockets, safer communities, and results that put Florida first.”

Angie Nixon:

  • Campaigned with Rashida Tlaib, who refused to condemn “death to America” chants and talked about the “calming feeling” she gets when thinking about the Holocaust

  • Said honoring Charlie Kirk makes you a “white supremacist” 

  • Called Florida racist stolen land 

  • Wants to arrest President Trump

As a reminder: Florida Republicans have a 1.5 million voter registration advantage over Democrats
