Six Months Later, Floridians are Suffering from María Elvira Salazar-backed Iran War

Gas prices are nearly $4 per gallon and Salazar continues to fund Trump’s reckless war of choice

Today marks six months since Donald Trump dragged the country into a war against Iran that has no end in sight, and is forcing Americans to pay record August gas prices at the pump. No wonder public support for the war just hit a new low this week.

REMINDER: On the day he started the war, Trump declared it was “already a success.” Then a few weeks later in April, he proclaimed the war was a “Total and complete victory. 100%.” Six months later, all Floridians have seen is a string of broken promises.

It’s not just Trump who’s broken his promise to the American people, so has María Elvira Salazar.

House Republicans also promised lower costs on day one and no more new wars. Yet Salazar voted to support funding for Trump’s yet-to-end war in the Middle East that has caused gas prices to spike even after promising that the war was “not going to be a long-term conflict.”

DCCC Spokesperson Madison Andrus:
Floridians oppose the war, are pissed about higher gas prices, and are ready to reject María Elvira Salazar in November because of her vote to fund the war. Salazar’s broken promises are going to cost her her job.”
