    Oct 27 2026

  • Democrats’ race reckoning (with Angie Nixon) | The Conversation

    Democrats’ race reckoning (with Angie Nixon) | The Conversation
    Oct 25 2026
    Florida Democratic Senate nominee Angie Nixon joins Dasha for a wide-ranging conversation about her historic campaign and the Democratic Party’s future. Nixon had sharp words for her own party, arguing that Democrats have taken Black voters for granted and the party needs to have a “long conversation” about the state of Black voters in the party, or else it will continue to ‘hemorrhage’ voters. Nixon also weighs in on why she joined the Democratic Socialists of America, whether she considers Israel an ally, and whether she would support Chuck Schumer for Senate leader.
