Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York traveled to Kissimmee, Florida, to support Angie Nixon's underdog Senate campaign. Ocasio-Cortez encouraged over 50 volunteers at a park event, emphasizing grassroots organizing over flashy venues. Nixon, running against Republican incumbent Ashley Moody, won her Democratic primary by 12 points using field work and social media despite being out-raised.

She challenges Moody to debates, who recently declined citing Nixon as "anti-American." Ocasio-Cortez, a potential presidential contender, endorsed Nixon last week but did not publicize her visit. The event featured New York Times photographer coverage, highlighting Nixon's focus on volunteer recruitment and canvassing apps. Nixon's progressive coalition includes Representative Maxwell Alejandro Frost, the first Gen Z Congress member.

Ocasio-Cortez defended Nixon against far-right attacks, arguing Democrats can win statewide without compromising values. She emphasized uncompromising progressivism, stating "We will guarantee health care to every American" without big money influence.
