Eileen Higgins secured a historic victory in the Miami mayoral election, becoming the city's first female mayor, the first Democrat in nearly 30 years, and the first non-Hispanic person in the role since the 1990s.Higgins, a former Miami-Dade county commissioner, defeated Republican Emilio T. González with approximately 60% of the vote, despite González receiving endorsements from Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis.This outcome marks a significant boost for Democrats nationally, especially ahead of the 2026 midterms, and reflects a strong backlash against some GOP policies, particularly concerning immigration and affordability.
