8. Hooooly Shit!

Democrats have wrested GOP control from the Miami mayor’s office for the first time in nearly 30 years in Tuesday’s closely watched runoff.

Democrat Eileen Higgins, a former county commissioner, won what her party saw as one of the last remaining tests of their grassroots energy heading into next year.

Higgins defeated Republican Emilio Gonzalez, Miami city manager, who has been endorsed by President Trump. Miami is party of Miami-Dade County, which went red in 2024 after being a blue stronghold for years.

Boom!

Go go go go!

20. We need more women running for office in our party

believe voters are getting tired of watching men kiss IQ4.7's ass. How many times have we seen
Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins cross the aisle and vote with us? And now MTG of all people
is getting on tsf's ass. Women in Congress make better decisions than men for some reason.
Motherly instincts?

[sheshe2]

26. Smart women.

Very smart women.

[Cha]

25. WOW... Thanks for the details, she!

Miami Voters are Evidently Tired of the SOS... Bonus that Traitor "endorsed" Gonzales.

Congratulations to Miami Mayor Elect, Eileen Higgins!

[sheshe2]

28. 30 years since a Democrat held that seat...

and all it took was a woman to lead the way.

DeSatan and Teerump must be pissed.

Ya gotta love it, Cha.

[Cha]

31. Dem Energy! And Yes.. Mind Boggling that

Eileen Higgins is now the Mayor Elect in Miami!... after 30 years of R rule!

I can only imagine how Ecstatic Miami Dems are

And how Pissed the PEDO Devil and that mini Satan in Florida are.

And another Big Dem Win in GA today!

That Texas gerrymander is sooo not going to go the way the repukes thought it was going to go.😂😂😂

21. Here's hoping.

I got a text from one Latino Democrat running
in one of the new districts that's supposed to
go Republican, and he sounded good, so I
sent him some money.

[FloridaBlues]

11. Yes.... This is a big deal finally a Dem won this mayors race.

13. Can she cancel the Rump brothel and library?

Would be so sweet

[DavidDvorkin]

14. What's the situation with Miami city council?

I couldn't find that information.

[everyonematters]

15. I would love to know how the Cuban vote came out.

[bsiebs]

16. 60% to 40% ... that is a blowout!

Looks like out of approximately 175,000 registered voters, only 37,000 went to the polls (about 20% turnout).

[IbogaProject]

19. Thank you

I was trying to find the statistics and was having trouble, I should have looked at ballotpedia. I had noticed the small vote totals.

[Mr. Sparkle]

17. ..

[madinmaryland]

18. Only 36k people voted in the city of Miami? Aren't there over a million people there?

Am I missing something?

[ibegurpard]

23. 442,000

In the city of Miami proper.
The metropolitan area is far larger.
