And one of the votes for her came from none other than Elon Musk.
“I voted for Mayra Flores — first time I ever voted Republican,” he tweeted. “Massive red wave in 2022”:

Massive red wave in 2022.

DeSantis

And get ready to hear much, much more from Musk:
Do you see yourself becoming more and more outspoken about who you are going to support ?
