Miami Elects First Democratic Mayor in 30 Years

[Mrkelly]

Nope, to expose his ignorance.

By proving him right?

Though the race and the job of mayor are nominally nonpartisan, the election generated sizable interest from national Democrats and Republicans. Higgins’ win adds to the slew of victories and close calls Democrats have seen this year, including last week’s strong performance in a House special election in Tennessee.

Like how they portray a stunning loss.

Far from a stunning loss.Van Epps only won by single digits in one of the deepest red districts in the country. Very BAD sign for Republicans.

Miami-Dade County Chair Kevin Cooper said Democrats were “making a mountain out of a molehill.”

And he is wrong.

“They are going to try to read something into this that it’s not,” he said. “It’s not a rebuke of the president or the party. Democratic city elects Democratic mayor.”

Nope, exposing his ignorance. I should probably say lies at this point, because he's been shown the history of mayors in Miami

Trump is down to the support of uneducated racist white voters and billionaires - what a marriage of oddity. The GOP will likely abandon him in his lame duck 2 year session. We will see.

Spoken like a true elitist.

 

[Delldude]

And he is wrong.

It was traditionally a democrat city even with a Republican mayor. Only recently did GOP voter registrations pass Dems.

Meh....... happy for your 'stunning' win.........

The elites are playing you for a fool. I don’t blame them. They are just doing what they do. I blame you all for enabling them.

Trump has tapped an unprecedented 13 billionaires for his administration. Here's who they are

President-elect Donald Trump has assembled the wealthiest presidential administration in modern history, with at least 13 billionaires set to take top government posts.

President-elect Donald Trump has assembled the wealthiest presidential administration in modern history, with at least 13 billionaires set to take on government posts.

They include a wrestling magnate, a private space pioneer, a New York real estate developer, the heir to a small appliance empire, and the wealthiest man on the planet -- with several being donors and close personal friends of the incoming president.

In total, the combined net worth of the wealthiest members of his administration could surpass $460 billion, including Department of Government Efficiency co-head Elon Musk -- whose net worth of more than $400 billion exceeds the GDP of mid-sized countries.

Gonzales had the stench of Trump and MAGAt cult bullshit on him. That's it.

Yep, that's all you got.

IOW: Nothing.

 

[HikerGuy83]

Yes, Miami voters electing a democrat after 30 years of Repub rule is an undeniable shift.

If run up a string of 3, that's a shift.

If the GOPer was just a moron, that explains it.

Kinda like Kamala Harris.

I don't think the country was all that keen on Trump.

But he won the popular vote.

That means he was running against a real loser.

 

[HikerGuy83]

That and his hysterical name calling, petty vendetta extravaganza, and pandering to Putin will soon have Republicans wishing they could shift the focus to his past intimacies.

I think we've pretty much established that, as a soothsayer, you suck.

 

[schmidlap]

You lose an assload of credibility by your ignorant misuse of the non-word “bigly.”

Anyone can reminisce if that is what they need to do, of course,

Has nothing to do with my post.

No shift established. Just a single victory in a single election.

And the claim you suck as a fortuneteller still holds (and has for some time).

Why do you think that, after thirty years of Republican rule, yet another Republican, endorsed by Trump, Gov. Ron DeSantis, U.S. Sen. Rick Scott and U.S. Rep. Byron Donalds, was defeated by the Democratic candidate by 20 points?

Interesting how you continue to put down those who you perceive as 'being beneath you'.

Beneath me? You right wing nuts think progressives are commies trying to destroy America. I just think you guys are dumb and easily fooled by Trump and his 13 billionaires using your fear and insecurity.

Nah. You mental dwarfs need to have your noses rubbed bed in your own shit periodically. Maybe someday you’ll even learn.

Nope. Not a Floridian. It wasn't big news in Tennessee or else so far back, I worked for a living.

On and thanks for the Grammar Nazi correction, Admiral Hornblower.

Blowing horns is what you do best, but you be you!

Now you know how to spell it.

Dude, with all due respect, you're a piece of shit. You continually take perverse pleasure belittling those who don't share the same 'intellectual level or prowess' as you.
The same 'uneducated' people who provide you with many of the things you take for granted.

You should be ashamed.

What does Hillary have to do with 2025 and the Cuban American vote in Miami?
Nothing? Right. Nothing. So, I guess that is just some more of your partisan off-topic talking points to derail threads.

What does "Kammy" have to do with the 2025 Miami Mayor race? She was not mentioned in the OP, probably because she had no effect, nor mattered. Not one single news article since the election on Tuesday's Miami Mayoral race even mentioned her.

I was inclined to agree with you, before Admiral Hornblower took object, with me agreeing, the outcome of the Miami Mayoral election, was more of a Miami thing, due to the large Cuban American vote, the republican candidate lost, causing his double digit defeat. Now, not so sure, since you guys are jumping in. Are you saying, you equate all Hispanic American vote, with the Cuban American vote in Miami? That would indeed bode poorly for the 2026 Mid-Term elections, if you are saying it is a bell weather situational outcome.

I did better over the 4 years of the Biden economy, than witnessed this year under the Trump economy, with the Tariffs, trade wars, slowing hiring, etc. But, I would not want Joe back, either. True, I thought you guys were just doing the old political partisan hatchet job on Joe, until I saw that debate, forced to realize you were correct. I figure, if he was not running the show, it had to be the staff and department heads, along with the Fed, that made those 4 years profitable and showing the amazing growth, jobs numbers, GDP and record stock market and oil production, and that staff and those department heads are history, never to return, Joe in no shape to put them back together, and Trump is going to change out Powell at the Fed. I simply hope Trump changes course, gets out of his fixation on picking winners and loser via tariff and basically quits the trade war business, so we can go back to a conservatively managed economy, not run for fun and profit of his biggest donors, but for the whole country. If not, I will be fine, but will feel sorry for most, not in the top .01%.

the vast majority of the cost of living price hikes Americans are struggling with today occurred under the last admin .. the admin you voted for .. but you did better under the dem admin eh ?
