HeadlineDec 10, 2025

In election news, voters in Miami, Florida, have elected a Democratic mayor for the first time in nearly 30 years. In a stunning upset, former County Commissioner Eileen Higgins received about 59% of the vote, defeating Republican Emilio González, who had been endorsed by Trump. Eileen Higgins will become Miami’s first female mayor.

In another setback for Republicans, in Georgia, Democrat Eric Gisler flipped a state House seat in a district Trump won by double digits last year.
