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.
In this interview, MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski sits down with Florida Representative Salazar in collaboration with Forbes for the inaugural 50 Over 50 list, which highlights women over the age of 50 who are shattering age and gender norms across a variety of industries.
