Miami’s new Democratic mayor signals not just a backlash to Trump, but a seismic shift
AI Summary
Eileen Higgins, a Democrat, won the Miami mayoral election, ending three decades of Republican leadership in the city. Higgins defeated Republican candidate Emilio González, who was backed by Donald Trump, by a significant margin. The victory is considered a major shift in Miami's political landscape, as Higgins is the first woman, first Democrat in 28 years, and first non-Hispanic candidate since the 1990s to hold the office. Higgins' campaign focused on the negative impacts of Trump-era immigration policies on Miami's large immigrant population, particularly the elimination of TPS and humanitarian parole programs. Her win signals a potential backlash against Trump's policies in a city where he won by 12% in 2024.
