U.S. Rep. María Elvira Salazar is urging Republicans to adopt more Latino-friendly policies as Democrats accuse her of "panicking" over a sharp voter shift reflected in the latest election results.
Dems are specifically pointing at a two-minute video posted to X back on November 5 in which Salazar said Latinos "gave Republicans a chance for the first time ever last year," citing 55% of Hispanic men who backed the President Donald Trump in 2024. She warned that support is now reversing as affordability worsens and immigration enforcement grows more visible.
