Trump Attacks South Florida GOP Rep. María Elvira Salazar Over Immigration Critiques
Trump amplified 13 posts calling for Salazar’s replacement as polls show her race tightening against Democrat Elliot Rodriguez.
- On Saturday, President Donald Trump intensified his criticism of GOP Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar, reposting at least 14 critical social media posts on Truth Social after the congresswoman broke with him over immigration enforcement.
- Salazar, representing a heavily Hispanic district, cited rising ICE enforcement statistics in her ad, noting the agency took around 51,000 people into custody in August and more than 46,000 in July, with 50% lacking criminal records.
- Despite Salazar telling "Face The Nation" she had a "very good conversation" with the president, Trump publicly claimed she "got a little bit soft on the border" and stated "I disagree with her" in the Oval Office.
- While Trump confirmed he still backed the Florida congresswoman, his Truth Social reposts included attacks calling her a "back stabber," complicating her reelection amid declining Republican midterm fortunes in her district.
- The congresswoman's reelection campaign faces pressure balancing party loyalty against constituent immigration concerns, as observers continue tracking the fallout from these public political exchanges in a district Trump carried by roughly 15 points in 2024.
