Eileen Higgins Elected Miami Mayor, Ending 30-Year Republican Hold
Eileen Higgins, a former Miami-Dade County Commissioner, has been elected as the mayor of Miami, marking the first time in over 30 years that a Democrat has held the position. Higgins defeated Emilio Gonzalez, a former city manager endorsed by President Trump, in a runoff election. The election was closely watched as it involved a diverse voter base in Miami, a city that has traditionally leaned Republican. Higgins secured 59% of the vote, while Gonzalez received nearly 41%. The campaign focused on key issues such as immigration, housing, and city growth, with Higgins advocating for affordable housing and improved city services.
