Eileen Higgins, at the age of 61, won the election for the Miami mayoralty, obtaining 60% of the votes and defeating the Republican Emilio T. Gonzalez, supported by Donald Trump. She is the first woman to lead the city in Florida, and her election took place in a context of only 20% voter turnout. Higgins promised an ethical and responsible governance, focused on results for citizens.
Her victory is significant, considering that the city has a strong Cuban community, traditionally Republican. This represents a first for the Democratic Party, which has not won the Miami mayoralty in the last 28 years. The elections come at a time when Donald Trump's popularity has declined, largely due to economic issues, including the cost of living.
