Democrats See Strong Early Voting Turnout in Miami Mayoral Runoff
Democrats are showing a surge in early voting and mail-in ballots in the Miami mayoral runoff, potentially breaking the city’s three-decade Republican streak. With the runoff election on December 9th, early voting data reveals a higher turnout from Democrats compared to Republicans. The race pits Democratic candidate Eileen Higgins against Republican Emilio González, endorsed by Donald Trump, in a highly anticipated contest. This election is viewed as a significant bellwether for the upcoming 2026 midterms, given Miami’s cultural and economic importance and the broader shifts in the political landscape.
