Democrats Poised for a Stunning Win in the Deep-Red
Miami—long considered one of the most reliably conservative cities in America—appears ready to elect a Democrat mayor for the first time in nearly three decades. New polls and betting markets show Democrat Eileen Higgins holding a commanding lead over Republican Emilio González, who is proudly endorsed by President Donald Trump.
For conservatives, this election is more than a local disappointment. It represents a warning sign in a city Trump previously helped turn red—and in his own home state of Florida.
A Deep-Red GOP Stronghold Suddenly Slipping Away
Miami is the cultural and economic engine of South Florida and a crucial Republican fortress. The city hasn’t elected a Democrat mayor in nearly 30 years, and Trump’s strong showing in Miami-Dade had reinforced the GOP’s hold on the region.
Now, with Democrats outperforming in early voting and polls showing Higgins with a decisive edge, Republicans are facing a dramatic wake-up call ahead of the 2026 midterms. A Democratic win here could energize the Left nationally and raise questions about GOP turnout and organization in key battlegrounds.
Polls Show Democrats in a Strong Position
Multiple polls point to the same outcome: Higgins is heavily favored.
- Polymarket forecast: Higgins 94% chance of winning; González 6%.
- APL Consulting poll (Nov. 21–24): Higgins 34%, González 31%.
- MDW Communications poll: Higgins 49.8%, González 23.7%.
- November 4 results: Higgins 36%; González 19%.
Early voting numbers also favor Democrats:
- 8,700+ registered Democrats have already voted.
- 7,200+ Republicans have cast ballots.
- 5,000 independents have submitted votes.
This turnout gap is raising alarms among Republicans who expected Miami to remain securely red.
Higgins Pushes Left-Leaning Agenda in a Conservative City
Higgins has pitched herself as a “results-driven leader” and is campaigning on traditional Democrat priorities such as:
- Expanded affordable housing
- “Safer communities” through new city programs
- Increased government accountability
- Major new infrastructure spending
- Additional support for small businesses
She argues Miami residents are demanding “honest leadership” and a government that “finally works for them.”
Her message appears to be resonating with younger voters, independents, and moderate Democrats—groups that traditionally struggle to overpower GOP voters in Miami.
Trump Endorses González in a High-Stakes Battle
President Trump issued a full endorsement of González on November 16, praising him as:
- A successful businessman
- A proven civic leader
- A U.S. Army veteran
- A former director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services
- A strong supporter of law enforcement and America’s military
Trump highlighted González’s commitment to:
- Growing Miami’s economy
- Cutting taxes and regulations
- Strengthening border security
- Stopping migrant crime
- Protecting the Second Amendment
- Boosting American energy dominance
Despite the endorsement, voters appear to be breaking toward the Democrat candidate.
Why This Election Matters for Conservatives Nationwide
If Republicans lose Miami, it would be:
- The first Democratic mayor in nearly 30 years
- A major symbolic loss in Trump’s home state
- A shift in a city Trump helped turn red
- A potential bellwether for 2026
- A sign of deeper GOP turnout struggles in urban centers
Miami’s mayoral race may not dominate national headlines, but the political implications are enormous. Conservatives will be watching closely to see whether GOP voters rally—or whether a longtime Republican stronghold slips away just days before the December 9 vote.
Her pledges sound a lot like Obama, Biden, Bass and the commie in New York. All her pledges will be for not and destroy the city of Miami. Read the Bible, the book of revelation. It is all there, the end is coming and will be here soon.
“Trump Loses America’s ‘Reddest City’”
i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again. IF the GOP loses the super majority it is because they keep messing around by focusing on a lot of talk and NO ACTION. sure, they managed to get the “big beautiful bill” passed, but apparently, doing so got them all tired out, ’cause almost nothing else has been accomplished.
whatever happened to DOGE?? the GOP faced a lot of opposition from the dems and all of a sudden the DOGE tidal wave of cutting the fat out of the spending disappears. there’s been a huge number of 2A cases brought to the AG’s attention, and what does she do?? she sides with the t r a i t o r o u s dems by basically spitting in the faces of all the Founding Fathers and ignoring her oath of office to honor/uphold the US Constitution as the supreme law of the land.
and don’t get me started with all the corruption going on in congress (BOTH sides of the aisle, BTW) and the “judges” that have NO IDEA how to do their job because they blatantly legislate from the bench instead of following the laws of the land. NONE of these elites are being fired/removed from their positions and brought to trial. i can tell you one thing for sure, if any of us did just ONE of the crimes that these people are doing, we’d find ourselves in jail so fast we’d need a flight suit to protect us from the G-forces.
i could go on, but you get the point if you’re watching the news with a critical eye and not just drinking the kool-aid.
