Nov 8, 2024, 12:54 PM

Donald Trump has made history by becoming the first Republican presidential candidate to win Miami-Dade County in 36 years, securing a victory by 11 points over Vice President Kamala Harris. This marks a significant shift in a region that has traditionally leaned Democratic, as Harris became the first Democratic candidate to lose the county since Michael Dukakis in 1988. Trump's campaign saw notable successes in predominantly blue areas, including flipping Coral Gables and significantly narrowing his loss in Miami Gardens. While Trump dominated the suburban areas of Dade, Harris managed to secure Miami Beach with 52% of the vote compared to Trump's 47%. Political experts are analyzing the implications of this shift and how it occurred.
