Miami-Dade County election spotlight

Politics

The article is behind a paywall, but the gist of it is quite simple. Republicans could very well carry Miami-Dade County this year.

Republicans last carried Miami-Dade in a Presidential Election in 1988. The last time it was particularly close was 1992. Biden carried Miami-Dade by 53.31% to 45.98%

Jeb Bush narrowly carried Miami-Dade County in the Governor’s race of 2002, but it has since voted Democrat.

At this point, it is undisputed that Republicans will sweep Florida at the State level this year.

But if they carry Miami-Dade, it will go a long way towards cementing Florida as a red State.

I will definitely follow the numbers on election night.

All part of the realignment that has many Latinos flocking to the right.

53% brandon puts it right on the line. should be interesting. the 46% for trump is a bit below the line. still, i think it goes red

The last presidential election was the only presidential election in our lifetimes where the person who won Florida and Ohio lost the election.

That’s because a few states that used to be solid red (GA, AZ) are no longer so. VA, in particular, went from safe red to safe blue, seemingly overnight.

fl and oh are increasingly red. i don’t think thats a product of left/right argument, but of good governance

Indeed.

Missouri used to be known as the Bellwether State. Always purple, always a sign of the national trend.

It went solid red during the Obama years.

i think if you’re looking for a state that can be indicative now its probably GA followed closely by an increasingly irratic WI

Nope, the chunks of mud are still on the walls.

meh, both states seem to have blue to the bone urbanites, rock red rurals, and seemingly easily swayable suburbanites.
