== Politics ==
For much of the 20th century, Miami and its surrounding area, [[Miami-Dade County, Florida|Miami-Dade County]], were solidly [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democratic]], reflecting the city's diverse population and liberal political leanings. However, in recent election cycles, a notable shift has occurred. The 2020 presidential election marked a turning point, with Trump making substantial gains among Hispanic voters, especially within the Cuban-American community. This shift was reflected in Miami-Dade County, where Trump only lost the county by seven points and lost the city by 19 points, a 21 point shift to the right from 2016.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Summary Results - Election Night Reporting |url=https://enr.electionsfl.org/DAD/2779/Summary/ |access-date=2024-12-08 |website=enr.electionsfl.org}}</ref> Then in the [[2022 Florida gubernatorial election]], [[Ron DeSantis]] won the county for the first time for a [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican]] candidate since 2002 and only lost the city of Miami by one-and-a-half points.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Summary Results - Election Night Reporting |url=https://enr.electionsfl.org/DAD/3267/Summary/ |access-date=2024-12-08 |website=enr.electionsfl.org}}</ref> That trend continued in the [[2024 United States presidential election in Florida|2024 presidential election in Florida]], with Trump winning the county by eleven points, a rare occurrence for a Republican presidential candidate. This was the first time a Republican candidate had won Miami-Dade County since [[1988 United States presidential election in Florida|1988]], a major political transformation in what had traditionally been a Democratic stronghold.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-11-06 |title=A red wave swept across Miami-Dade elections.
