Tuesday

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!
