Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar, R-Fla., is criticizing President Donald Trump in a new ad as she runs for reelection in a district Trump won by 15 points just two years ago, highlighting growing anxiety among some Republican candidates as early voting begins in several states.

In her ad, Salazar tells 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,” she says.

The ad is turning heads because it shows a Republican incumbent publicly breaking with the president even in a district that has strongly backed him. Salazar’s South Florida district is roughly three-quarters Hispanic. Polling shows Republicans may be losing ground with Hispanic voters compared with 2024.

The move comes as some Republican candidates try to distance themselves from Trump in an attempt to win over voters during a critical stretch of the campaign.

A Fox News poll released this week found 61% disapproved of Trump’s handling of the job, adding to concerns for the GOP as the midterm campaign intensifies.

That anxiety could matter well beyond South Florida. Hispanic voters could prove especially influential in places such as Texas, where Republican Ken Paxton is facing Democrat James Talarico in a Senate race.

The two candidates are neck and neck. No Democrat has won a U.S. Senate seat in Texas since 1988.

Despite lagging polls, Trump has inserted himself at the center of the campaign push. Last week, the Republican midterm convention in Dallas was branded as a “Trumpapalooza,” and the president was back on the campaign trail this week in North Carolina.

“I just want you to go out and pretend I’m on the ticket because essentially I am,” Trump told supporters there.

Early voting kicked off Friday in Virginia, and voters can start casting absentee ballots in a few other states, including Minnesota and South Dakota, with control of the House and Senate up for grabs and 46 days to go until Election Day.

The economy remains the top issue for many voters, with growing concerns about rising prices, including fuel costs tied to the war in Iran.

On Friday, the national average price for a gallon of regular gasoline was up $1.46 from the start of the war.
