officials haven't yet weighed in here.

And let's close things out with U.S.

politics, starting in Florida, where Eileen Higgins became the first Democrat to win election as Miami's mayor in almost three decades.

The race became infused with larger issues like affordability and was partly considered a referendum on President Trump's immigration policies.

Higgins there was speaking courtesy of WSVN-TV.

Her upset in Miami follows a series of recent elections in which Democrats won or outperformed expectations.

Next, touting the strength of the U.S.

economy, President Trump told supporters in Pennsylvania last night that rising prices were the fault of the Biden administration.

The speech was part of a messaging shift meant to address voter concerns about affordability, though Trump took issue with that word, pinning its emergence as a talking point as the work of Democrats.

And senators are set to hold a pair of key health care votes tomorrow, fulfilling a pledge that Republican leaders made to Democrats in exchange for ending the government shutdown last month.

The GOP proposal doesn't include the extension of expiring Affordable Care Act subsidies and would instead fund health savings accounts.

And that's it for What's News for this Wednesday morning.
