The county was won comfortably by Hillary Clinton with 63% of the vote and by Joe Biden in 2020 with 53% of the vote. Ron DeSantis won it in 2022 and now Miami-Dade County is a Republican County! Via Yahoo News:
Miami-Dade becomes the latest Florida county to flip from blue to red in voter registration
Democrats have lost their electoral advantage in Miami-Dade County.
The latest evidence of the Republican Party’s growth in Florida is news announced on Monday that registered Republicans now outrank Democrats in Miami-Dade County, the most populous in Florida.
The latest voter rolls in the county now show 464,370 registered Republicans, or 34% of voters, 440,790 Democrats, or 32.27%. Independent and third-party voters together number 460,783, or 33.7%. Those numbers come via Michael Pruser, the director of data science with Decision Desk HQ.
“This is a total repudiation of the Democrats’ failed agenda. Miami-Dade is no longer their safe haven — it’s the beating heart of the Republican revolution,” said Evan Power, chairman of the Republican Party of Florida, in a written statement.
“We’re the party of hardworking families, Hispanic patriots, and communities demanding safe streets, top-notch schools, and a booming economy. Miami-Dade proves the unstoppable momentum of the Republican message.”
Long a Democratic stronghold, the majority-Latino area has been trending more politically right over the past decade but continued to back Democrats at the top of the ticket until the past couple of election cycles.
Although Donald Trump has won the state of Florida in the past three presidential elections, Miami-Dade voters supported Hillary Clinton in 2016 and Joe Biden in 2020. But Biden’s 2020 win was by only 7 points, down from Clinton’s 29-point margin of victory in 2016.
