Celebrate Miami’s Historic Victory for Democracy

A political earthquake just hit South Florida — and it’s sending shockwaves nationwide. Miami has elected Eileen Higgins, the city’s first Democratic mayor in 28 years, the first woman ever to hold the office, and the first non-Hispanic mayor since the 1990s. Her landslide victory — nearly 60% of the vote — is a powerful rejection of Trump-backed extremism and a clear demand for competent, compassionate, pro-community leadership.

Higgins won by focusing on what matters: dignity for immigrant families, fair treatment under the law, and a city government that works for everyone. In a city where nearly 60% of residents are foreign-born, Trump and DeSantis’s cruel immigration policies — from ending TPS to infamous detention centers like “Alligator Alcatraz” — pushed voters to say enough.

Her win isn’t just a local shift. It’s a seismic realignment in one of the nation’s most important political battlegrounds — and a sign that the backlash to Trumpism is deepening even in places he carried just a year ago.
