María Elvira Salazar, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Florida’s 27th district, shared a series of tweets on June 6, 2025. Her messages expressed support for Venezuelan political figure María Corina Machado and commemorated a significant historical event.
In a tweet posted at 00:55 UTC, Salazar addressed María Corina Machado directly, stating “You are the future of Venezuela @MariaCorinaYa. We are with you, today and always.” This message was followed by another tweet one minute later at 00:56 UTC, reinforcing her sentiments in Spanish: “Eres la esperanza y el futuro de Venezuela, @MariaCorinaYa. Estamos contigo, hoy y siempre.”
Later that day at 14:47 UTC, Salazar reflected on the historical significance of D-Day in World War II. She tweeted about the importance of remembering the sacrifices made during this pivotal moment in history: “On this day in 1944, the greatest generation landed in Normandy and changed the course of history. They didn’t fight for conquest; they fought for our freedom. America must always remember who we are because of what they did and be grateful to them.”
María Elvira Salazar has been an active member of Congress since she replaced Donna Shalala in 2021. Born in Miami in 1961 and holding a BA from the University of Miami since 1983, she continues to reside there while representing her constituents.
