Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont rallied in Tampa for Angie Nixon, the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in Florida, according to The New York Times. The Times describes Nixon as the underdog and says Sanders has made a point of investing in Republican-leaning states.
Nixon, a Florida state representative, spoke the next day on CBS News' "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan." She said her campaign "previously had very little support" from national Democrats.
She said that is now changing. She said she welcomes all support, adding that "we are not the little engine that could."
