"Small candidates", for US senate?

View on HN

It's not really competitive. She's down by ten points.

6 points according to the latest Siena Poll [1]. The gap has been narrowing ever since she won the primary.

Still likely to lose (IMO), but it's more competitive than we've seen in Florida for a long time.

This is a florida senate race

EDIT: I’m mistaken, this is a US senate candidate. I was confused by the ambiguous wording in the article.

Yes an extremely contentious race if you pay attention to politics. A year ago if anyone had said Dems have a chance of a Senate majority during the midterms you'd have been laughed out of the building.

Again, this isn’t a US senate race, it’s a Florida senate race.

Angie Nixon is currently a Florida state rep who is running for US senate: https://angienixon.com/

Yes, I’m mistaken. I didn’t realize the ambiguity in the “Florida Democratic Senate candidate” (I misinterpreted it as “Democratic candidate for Florida Senate”).
