Republican Maria Elvira Salazar won election Tuesday to the U.S. House of Representatives representing Florida’s 27th Congressional District, defeating Democrat Eliott Rodriguez. Salazar, a former journalist, secured a fourth term after distancing herself from President Donald Trump’s hardline approach on immigration, saying in a campaign video that the same Hispanics who helped elect him now feel betrayed. Rodriguez is also a former journalist who worked as an anchor at the CBS affiliate in Miami and also criticized the president’s immigration policy as inhumane. The Associated Press declared Salazar the winner at 5:47 p.m. EST.
