Maria Salazar’s Chances in Florida As Trump Posts Slew of Criticism
President Trump shared a social media post suggesting House Republican Salazar should be primaried.
Former President Donald Trump has shown his displeasure with Florida Republican Maria Salazar, sharing 13 critical posts from his Truth Social website, urging her to face a primary challenge or be replaced by another Republican. The controversy arose after Salazar criticized Trump's immigration enforcement efforts in a campaign ad filmed outside the White House.
Trump's dissatisfaction with Salazar's remarks comes as the polling gap between her and Democratic challenger Eliott Rodriguez widens in Florida's 27th congressional district race. This could potentially disrupt Trump's ability to pass legislation during his remaining two years in office if Democrats manage to flip the House.
