Eileen Higgins (D) Leads Miami Mayoral Race – Could be First D Mayor in Almost 30 Years and Sign of Growing Democratic Popularity

**Why this matters**

The first Democrat in 30 years here doesn’t really capture the shift here. Miami, with its majority Cuban population, has been a lock for Republicans, with their candidates often running up +30 point wins. This could represent a seismic shift in voter preferences that other national polls aren’t capturing yet. Watch out for this as the canary in the coal mine.
