Miami mayor Trump Higgins Gonzalez.

A candidate backed by Donald Trump and one supported by national Democrats are facing off to be the next Miami mayor. Tuesday’s race may be a signal for both parties ahead of next year’s midterms, especially among Hispanic voters. If elected, Eileen Higgins would be the first Democrat to lead Miami in nearly three decades. A win by Emilio Gonzalez could help the GOP maintain influence in this Hispanic-majority city. The runoff follows Trump’s impact on Miami’s political landscape. Big-name Republicans and Democrats have joined the campaign trail, making this a significant test for both parties.
