佛罗里达州民主党初选：左翼候选人安吉·尼克松爆冷胜出

GEOFF BENNETT: Good evening. I'm Geoff Bennett. AMNA NAWAZ: And I'm Amna Nawaz. On the "NewsHour" tonight: A left-wing Democrat wins a primary upset in Florida, but now faces a tough road ahead in the general election. GEOFF BENNETT: Meta on trial. States accuse the tech giant of deliberately designing addictive features for children and negatively affecting their mental health. AMNA NAWAZ: And Judy Woodruff joins a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist on a road trip to examine the parallels between the Gilded Age and today.

BEVERLY GAGE, Author, "This Land is Your Land": It's often said that we live in a second Gilded Age. We have erased a lot of the 20th century and just gone back to the late 19th. (BREAK) AMNA NAWAZ: Welcome to the "News Hour." An upset win by a progressive candidate in Florida leads a host of headlines from yesterday's primary elections. GEOFF BENNETT: Florida State Rep.

LISA DESJARDINS: That Senate primary victory was a surprise to most, but not to the candidate herself. She is Angie Nixon, a member of the Florida House of Representatives.

She's known for pink, including a pink megaphone. She did just join the DSA, Democratic Socialists of America. But she stresses that she has a unique and important coalition of the young, the suburbs and cities. She easily defeated Alex Vindman. Some viewers may recognize him as the key witness in the first impeachment of President Trump. He outraised Nixon 16 to 1. But look at where Nixon did well. If you look at the map of the results of Florida, you can see it was really all over the state, not just in cities and urban centers, but in rural parts.

And when we talked to Kimberly Leonard, who writes the Florida Playbook for Politico, she said Nixon was a tireless campaigner. KIMBERLY LEONARD, Politico: She's not a polished politician, and she's someone who's more of a grassroots organizer. I mean, when she walks into a room and gets on stage, people are on their feet, they're clapping, they're jumping. She is just really magnetic. And I think that that was a big d
