Democrat Eileen Higgins won the Miami mayor’s race, defeating a Trump-backed Republican and ending her party’s nearly 30-year losing streak in the city. Higgins, who becomes Miami’s first female mayor, campaigned heavily on immigration and said voters were “ready to be done” with dehumanizing rhetoric. The victory gives Democrats a symbolic boost heading into the 2026 midterms.
