“In 2020, Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar’s (R-FL) Miami seat was ground zero for the massive Latino swing toward Republicans in the Donald Trump era. Six years after Salazar first flipped her seat red, Florida Democrats feel they can knock her off because of a restless electorate fuming at Trump’s mass deportations and high prices,” Punchbowl News reports.
“Salazar is still a favorite to win another term, as evidenced by her 20-point reelection victory in 2024. But the top Democrats vying to unseat her — Robin Peguero and Eliott Rodriguez — say Salazar has failed to stick up for her constituents amid Trump’s deportation push.”
“Salazar acknowledged that Trump’s policies are a ‘problem’ for her district and she’s urging the president to refocus his immigration agenda.”
