The Miami mayoral race is closely monitored as a significant political event. Although the election is nonpartisan, it has garnered national attention due to key endorsements from political figures. Former Miami City Manager Emilio Gonzalez, a Republican, is endorsed by Donald Trump, while the Democratic National Committee backs Eileen Higgins, a former Miami-Dade County commissioner.

In the initial round, Eileen Higgins led with 36% of the vote, followed by Emilio Gonzalez at 20%, and Ken Russell, another Democrat, at 18%. A runoff election is necessary as no candidate achieved a majority.

If elected, Eileen Higgins would be the first Democrat to lead Miami in nearly three decades, and the first woman and non-Hispanic mayor of the predominantly Hispanic city. The city of Miami has a population of approximately 487,000.

Higgins' campaign emphasizes local issues such as housing affordability and addresses national concerns like immigration enforcement. Gonzalez prioritizes the repeal of the homestead property tax and the simplification of business permits. He has expressed support for immigration arrests of individuals committing crimes, categorizing broader enforcement as a federal issue.

The race has attracted notable figures from both parties. Support for Gonzalez comes from Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and Senator Rick Scott. Prominent Democrats, including Senator Ruben Gallego, support Higgins.

A victory for the Democrats could enhance the party's momentum in upcoming midterm elections, following recent gains and a competitive special election in Tennessee.
