It took nearly 30 years, but Democrats finally broke their decades-long ballot box losing streak in Miami, Florida, the city known as the nation’s “Gateway to Latin America.”<\/p>\n

Democrat Eileen Higgins, a former county commissioner, defeated Republican Emilio Gonzalez, a former city manager, in Tuesday’s Miami’s mayoral runoff election<\/a>, according to the Associated Press.<\/p>\n

While the election was technically nonpartisan, the ballot box face-off became the latest showdown this year between Democrats and Republicans, with both parties pouring in resources and the race grabbing plenty of national attention.<\/p>\n

President Donald Trump<\/a> endorsed Gonzalez and this past weekend took to social media to emphasize that Miami’s mayoral election “is a big and important race!!! Vote for Republican Gonzalez.”<\/p>\n

WHY MIAMI, FLORIDA IS IN THE NATION’S POLITICAL SPOTLIGHT<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Republican Party<\/a> of Florida poured in resources to boost Gonzalez.<\/p>\n

But Democrats, energized by last month’s decisive 2025 election victories and by last week’s double-digit overperformance in a special election in a red-leaning congressional district in Tennessee, aimed for a victory in Miami.<\/p>\n

The Democratic National Committee<\/a> (DNC) and allied groups invested in the race.<\/p>\n

DNC Chair Kent Martin told Fox News Digital that following last week’s “historic overperformance in Tennessee and the record Democratic momentum across the country this year,” the DNC<\/a> is now “laser focused” on Miami’s mayoral runoff.<\/p>\n

Martin added that the DNC was “all-in” for Higgins.<\/p>\n

Florida was once<\/a> the largest of the general election battleground states, but has shifted dramatically to the right over the past decade.<\/p>\n

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis<\/a> won re-election by nearly 20 points in 2022, and Trump carried the state by 13 points in last year’s presidential election victory.<\/p>\n

But Miami remains a rare blue oasis in the Sunshine State. Trump narrowly lost the city in last year’s presidential election, although the president won the wider Miami-Dade County by 11 points.<\/p>\n

Higgins, a mechanical engineer and former Peace Corps director in Belize, focused on the issue of affordability and of making local government work better and faster during her campaign.<\/p>\n

Gonz\u00e1lez, a veteran and senior adviser at an asset management firm, spotlighted the fight against overdevelopment and called for the elimination of property taxes for primary homes, as he bid for mayor.<\/p>\n

Higgins captured 36% of the vote in the Nov. 4 election, with Gonzalez coming in second at 19%, in the multi-candidate field. With no candidate topping 50%, the contest headed to Tuesday’s runoff.<\/p>\n

Higgins will succeed term-limited Republican Mayor Francis Suarez, who grabbed national attention two years ago as he briefly and unsuccessfully ran for the GOP presidential nomination.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
