CONFIRMED: Eileen Higgins, a Democrat, will be the new mayor of Miami.
She'll be the city's first Democratic mayor since the 1990s. She flipped the office from Republicans, and does so easily. She leads the DeSantis-endorsed Emilio González 59/41 right now with most ballots counted.

There is going to be a TON of punditry and about what this means for the FL Dems — so here’s my FL Man analysis
1. Republicans at the state/local level are in disarray
2. Higgins (MIA) follows a similar upset by Deegan (JAX)
