Chapter 1: What recent polling indicates about Trump's support in Florida?
Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans are getting a rude awakening in Florida and they're looking at the midterms coming up and ain't looking good for Trump and MAGA. Some of the latest polling has Trump's approval in Florida at net negative. 7.5%. And that's been decreasing by the day.
You have the MAGA Republican governor out there, Ron DeSantis, commenting about the Texas special elections, including the most recent one for state Senate district number nine, where the Democrat overperformed by plus 31 points and won in a plus 17 Trump district by a plus 14 margin against a Trump endorsed candidate named Lee Wham Gans. Taylor Remmitt went on to win that race. And Ron DeSantis
Special elections are quirky and not necessarily projectable regarding a general election. That said, a swing of this magnitude is not something that can be dismissed. Republicans should be clear-eyed about the political environment. heading into the midterms. And day by day, DeSantis is throwing the Trump regime under the bus even more. That's a story to keep on following.
And I saw he came out against data centers and a lot of the AI initiatives of the Trump regime recently as well. You take a look recently, there was that Miami mayor's race as well. And you had Eileen Higgins becoming the first Democrat elected the mayor of Miami.
in nearly 30 years when donald trump the same way he endorsed that mega candidate in texas he endorsed uh the mayoral republican candidate gonzalez in miami who suffered a massive loss there you know and that brings us really to florida's 27th congressional district right here where you have a big race coming up you have this mega republican candidate maria salazar her
parents family fled cuba and her whole thing was that she was protecting the population from socialism and dictators and then she hoisted up donald trump who was uh a dictator and who does socialism for the billionaires and uh she's been saying and promising her constituents all along that, we promise you, Donald Trump is not gonna do immigration raids.

Chapter 2: How are special elections affecting Republican strategies in Florida?
He's not going after people who have been here for a long time. He's only going after criminals. So the day after the presidential election back on, this is by the way, what she's been saying, she's been MAGA through and through. And so I'll just give you one clip for example, the day after the presidential election, when she was interviewed by PBS, she said,
I promise you, everybody, Donald Trump is supporting my dignity act. It's called the Dignity Act because if you've been here and you're hardworking and you're an immigrant, you have nothing to worry about at all. You're good. It's only the violent criminals. Trump told me, he promised me we're going to get this act passed. Even if we don't get the act passed, he supports it.
Watch what she said on PBS the day after the election.
I am sure that we're not, that the Trump administration is not gonna be targeting those people who have been here for more than five years, that have American kids, that don't have criminal records, that have been working in the economy and paying taxes. I am sure that they're gonna hone in on the criminals who arrived less than four years ago.
Because I wrote the Dignity Act and I am the first one who understands that you have to give some type of dignity to those who have been here for more than five years. People who have roots in the country, not people who are coming to commit crimes.
If I can just clarify from you, have you received those kinds of details from anyone in a potential Trump administration? Because so far what we've heard is proposal for mass deportations. We have about 30 seconds left. Have you gotten those assurances?
Mass deportation. to those who are committing crimes who have been here for less than five years you understand that you have millions of undocumented who are contributing with the economy and are helping our country to be a better one checking in on the trump administration you support what she just said she said that she spoke to trump you read the legislation you're with it
It's not what you were doing. You were attacking hardworking people here in this country and American citizens as well. Let's check in with the White House and see what they had to say recently.
Congresswoman Salazar introduced legislation that would give some illegal immigrants in the country a path to citizenship. Ten Republicans signed on to what she's calling the Dignity Act. I'm curious what the White House's position is on the legislation and if the president would veto this bill if it needed to discuss.

Chapter 3: What challenges is Congresswoman Salazar facing in her district?
You mentioned Eileen Higgins mayoral victory. A big part of this district is the city of Miami where she won. It is a district that is heavily Cuban, heavily Venezuelan, basically pan Latin American. And you nailed every piece of this where she's been with Trump every step of the way.
She has said, like you said in the clip, that we're only going to focus on criminals, only going to focus on criminals. And yet here, this district is also the one within our backyard is Alligator Alcatraz and that prison camp out there where she went out to the site, toured it and said the beds were pretty comfortable. So this is a congresswoman that is basically a weather vane.
She leads from behind on every issue. One of the big things that she has done is not support the Venezuelan community. You mentioned Maria Corina Machado, but also Venezuelans here in South Florida have lost temporary protected status while the same Maduro regime is in power.
She has not stood up to administration when Cubans have had double the number of deportations this year than they've had last year.
a lot of seniors many of them of cuban descent uh have been left with in fear because she initially did not support expanding the snap benefits that almost were cut she has supported the caroline levitt talked about the big beautiful bill she voted to cut a lot of programs for the seniors in her district this district has the large one of the largest numbers of obamacare recipients in the entire country and she is one who cut
the tax credits that made it affordable. Some of the people in my district I speak to, their insurance bills have gone from $450 to over $1,200 a month. So this is a congresswoman that has repeatedly failed. The difference now from previously is that people have caught on to this.
I go into a lot of spaces with people who voted Trump three times, Salazar multiple times, and they talk about how they're fed up with her. She's never in the community. She's focused on political theater, not the real problems in our community. And the fact is, her only real solution to this problem, you mentioned the Dignity Act, it's not a pathway to any kind of citizenship.
There is no pathway to citizenship in that law. It's a penalty box. It requires immigrants who come here to pay additional fees. It is one that makes sure that we have a second class of citizen here in the United States, something that is completely against the entire concept of the American dream. And she is someone that has failed this community of return.
And that's a big reason why I'm running.
