María Elvira Salazar came to politics after a three-decade career as a journalist for Spanish-language television. She first ran in 2018, positioning interviews with Fidel Castro and Nicolás Maduro as confrontations with "corrupt elites." Though she lost, she engineered a victory in 2020 with support from President Trump and conservative Cuban-American voters in Miami-Dade county.
