Eileen Higgins has claimed a historic victory in the Miami mayor’s race, projected by NBC News, marking the first time Democrats will hold the office in nearly 30 years. The former Miami-Dade County commissioner secured 59% of the vote against Republican Emilio González, who was endorsed by Donald Trump. González conceded late Tuesday night. This win signifies a major political shift in Miami, with the city’s longstanding Republican dominance finally broken, even as Miami-Dade as a whole has trended Republican in recent elections. The race was deeply influenced by national issues such as affordability, Trump’s waning influence, and immigration policies, themes expected to shape future midterm contests. Will this victory signal a broader Democratic resurgence in Florida?
