I live in this district. This is not surprising since whether I am at the vet's office or the grocery store I have overheard people -- Cubans! -- talking about MES, and not in a nice way. Her support of Trump has rubbed off on her brand, and this is her trying to reverse.
NEW: Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar (R-FL) just rolled out a straight to camera ad breaking with Trump. "Mr. President, some of your immigration enforcement efforts have gone too far....The same Hispanics who helped you get to the White House in 2024 feel betrayed today"

Angie Nixon did not come out of nowhere
Maybe you don’t know who Florida state Rep Angie Nixon is, but you will now. 🔥🔥🔥 If you care about what life is like in Florida under Gov Ron DeSantis, I urge you to listen to ALL of this. You will feel it in your bones. Thank you, @AngieNixon #Jacksonville

In other words, this is a crystal clear illustration of the Florida mantra: "The further north you go, the deeper South you are."
Threw together a map showing where Byron Donalds performed better or worse than his combined opposition. He performed well in SWFL (where his district is) and South FL, but abysmally in the rural Panhandle. He received under 20% of the vote in Lafayette and Liberty Counties.

This is an incredible story.
One of the wildest things I've had happen to me as a reporter: A shadowy campaign is systematically + successfully filing fraudulent copyright violation complaints on articles critical of GOP House candidate Michael Carbonara. Voters left in the dark. wlrn.org/government-politics…
