Story summary

Vice President JD Vance, while campaigning with Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) and Sen. Ashley Moody (R-FL) in Florida on Thursday, strongly criticized Angie Nixon, the Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate seat. At a rally at Lakeland Linder International Airport, Vance told the crowd that those who support socialism, like Nixon, should leave America if they do not agree with its values. He specifically called out her support for defunding the police and abolishing prisons as contradictory to American principles. This criticism comes during a challenging midterm cycle for Republicans, where issues like economic concerns and gas prices are paramount among voters.
