The posts came after Salazar released a campaign ad last week filmed outside the White House. In it, she told Trump directly that "some of your immigration enforcement efforts have gone too far."
Trump's response landed at an awkward moment for Salazar. Polls in Florida's 27th congressional district have tightened sharply between her and Democratic challenger Eliott Rodriguez ahead of the November election, according to the report.
A sitting president pushing to primary a member of his own party is not a small thing. It matters even more in a district Democrats now see as winnable. Salazar's ad broke from Trump on immigration enforcement specifically, an issue he has staked much of his political identity on, and his 13-post response suggests he took the break personally. For Republicans in Florida's 27th, the fight raises a real question: does backing an incumbent who criticized Trump cost the party a seat it might otherwise hold, or does distancing from him help her survive a tighter race than expected?
