In an historic first, Eileen Higgins has been elected mayor of Miami. She defeated the Trump-backed candidate by a large margin. She will become the first woman mayor of this city, ever.
Higgins supported building more affordable housing. Whereas her opponent backed a DeSantis-plan that would have eliminated property taxes for primary residences. People in Miami are opening their eyes to the stupidity of tax cuts for the rich.

This is becoming a growing trend. Trump backed candidates have fared poorly in recent elections. I predict a large block of GOP lawmakers will not be seeking reelection in next year's midterm's because they "want to spend more time with their families" 😏
@mchill saidOr, like MTG, cash in their chips while they still can.
