Miami Elects First Democratic Mayor in 30 Years
Eileen Higgins won Miami's mayoral runoff election on Tuesday. Her victory ends more than three decades of Republican leadership in the city. Higgins, a county commissioner, secured her position in the nonpartisan race. The last Democrat to serve as mayor was Xavier Suarez from 1985 to 1993. The election result signals a potential political shift in one of Florida's major cities. Voter turnout and key local issues decided the closely watched runoff. CBS News correspondent Cristian Benavides confirmed the win. Higgins is expected to outline her administration's priorities in the coming days.
