Eileen Higgins achieved a historic victory in the Miami mayoral election, becoming the city's first female mayor and the first Democrat to hold the office in nearly 30 years.Higgins, a former Miami-Dade county commissioner, secured approximately 60% of the vote against Republican Emilio T. González, who had been endorsed by Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis.This outcome provides a significant boost for the
Democratic Party nationally and reflects voter concerns over
Republican Party policies on issues such as immigration and affordability ahead of the 2026 midterms.
