Miami Elects Democrat Mayor for First Time in Nearly 30 Years
In a significant victory for Democrats, Eileen Higgins won Miami’s mayoral race, defeating the Republican candidate endorsed by former President Donald Trump. Higgins, the first woman to lead Miami, campaigned on issues of immigration and a desire for change, securing a decisive victory with a wide margin. This win provides a boost for Democrats as they head into the upcoming midterm elections, despite the area trending towards Republican views in recent years. The race drew attention from both major political parties, and some nationally recognized Democrats supported Higgins, as the victory has the potential to impact future elections.
