Riding Blue Waves in Miami: How Eileen Higgins' Historic Win Signals a Latino Vote Reset | Fernand Amandi
Chuck Rocha is BACK from the Indian Ocean to break down the SHOCKING Miami mayoral election that has Democrats buzzing and Republicans worried.
Esteemed political analyst Fernand Amandi joins Chuck to explain how Democrat Eileen Higgins crushed her Republican opponent by 19 points in a city that's 65%+ Hispanic and where Trump JUST won by 13 points. This wasn't some MAGA extremist losing—it was a respected Cuban-American Republican with Trump's full endorsement.
🔥 THE NUMBERS ARE WILD:
- Hillary won Miami-Dade by 30 points in 2016
- Trump won it by 13 points in 2024
- Democrat just won Miami by 19 points in 2025
- That's a 43-point swing in less than a decade!
Fernand reveals why Democrats are now overperforming by DOUBLE DIGITS in special elections across Florida, Georgia, New Jersey, and Virginia. Is Florida back in play for 2026? Are Cuban-American voters shifting again?
