A shocker in Miami leaving Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans stunned.
A Democrat will go on to win the mayoral runoff election in Miami, handing a Democrat the mayor seat for the first time in Miami in about 30 years. Democrat Eileen Higgins will go on to defeat the Republican candidate Emilio Gonzalez for the mayor of Miami. Now the Republican candidate Emilio Gonzalez was endorsed by Donald Trump repeatedly. He accepted that endorsement by Donald Trump. That became a very big deal in the Miami mayoral race. because of the pain and the suffering that Donald Trump has inflicted on Miami and the migrant community there. Get this, the Republican candidate won that same mayoral seat back in 2021 by 67 points. That's right. Miami's current mayor, a very corrupt MAGA mayor, Francis Suarez, who enriched himself in that mayor's seat.
He won the 2021 race by 67 points. And right now with 90% of the votes having been counted where we can all fairly call this election for Eileen Higgins, she's leading by about 20 points. So you almost have in terms of a flip here, like a, 80 point flip, if you will, in the direction of the Democratic candidate. From plus 67 for the Republican mayor in 2021 to now about a plus 20 for a Democratic candidate. Congratulations to Eileen Higgins. Now, the Republican candidate, Emilio Gonzalez, he was also shrouded
What significant event occurred in the Miami mayoral race?
in a reputation of corruption. He was the city manager there, and he abruptly resigned during massive scandals. As I mentioned, he accepted that Trump endorsement. Here's what Donald Trump said about him. It is my great honor to endorse Emilio T. Gonzalez to be the next mayor of the beautiful city of Miami, Florida. He says a successful businessman, a civic leader, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. He goes on to say, Emilio Gonzalez has my complete and total endorsement, Miami. And then Donald Trump says, get out and vote for Emilio. He will never let you down. down. And so Trump and MAGA thought that that mayor's race was gonna be safe for the Republicans and for MAGA, not so. Donald Trump also posted as it got closer to the election on December 7th.
Miami's mayor's race is Tuesday.
Who is Eileen Higgins and what was her victory margin?
It's a big and important race. Vote for Republican Gonzalez. He is fantastic. You can also vote today. Make America great again. Donald Trump's endorsement, a kiss of death. And we've seen in the polling Latinos are going away from Trump and MAGA feeling utterly betrayed. I wanna show you what was the key portion of this mayor's race. And it took place during the debate where the candidates were asked about Gonzalez receiving Donald Trump's endorsement. Emilio Gonzalez was asked, so you accept Donald Trump's endorsement and the way he's been treating the migrants and the immigrant community here? revoking people's temporary protected status, attacking the Venezuelans, attacking the Cubans. You're okay with that?
Watch what goes down and watch as Eileen Higgins responds as well and calls out Gonzalez for being a Trump bootlicker. Here, play this clip. with the thing that has gotten you a lot of attention, the fact that you were endorsed by Donald Trump. Was that something that you sought?
It was something that came to me quite by surprise. I literally was resting, reading, my phone went off, And I thought, gee, what happened? Somebody died. What's going on here? And it was just people telling me, hey, you've just been endorsed by the president.
How did Donald Trump's endorsement impact Emilio Gonzalez's campaign?
I do know that the president, because he's a resident of the state of Florida, and there's talk of putting a library here in Miami, he follows events in Florida. He follows events closely. And so I wasn't surprised, but it wasn't something that I called up there and said, hey, can you do this for me?
All right.
