A historic win — and a turning point for Latino voters nationwide. |
On Tuesday night, something extraordinary happened. Miami — a city Trump bragged about winning in 2024 — elected a Democrat for the first time in nearly 30 years.
Eileen Higgins didn’t just win. She won by 19 points. In a city that is 70% Latino — against a Trump-endorsed Republican. All of this in a year when the GOP insisted Latino voters were permanently drifting right.
And it wasn’t just Miami. In Georgia, Democrat Eric Gisler just flipped a state House seat in a district Trump carried by double digits. Even after Republicans gerrymandered it to keep themselves safe. Voters still chose change.
These victories, on top of the victories from early November, tell a clear story: Latino communities are rejecting MAGA extremism — and choosing leaders who fight for dignity, affordability, and democracy.
But to turn these seismic shifts into a winning coalition for 2026, we need to organize now.
👉 Will you chip in today to power early Latino engagement heading into the midterms?

Miami: The political earthquake no one can ignore
The story beneath the headline is even more stunning:
- In Wynwood, Higgins outperformed the Democratic presidential ticket by 42 points.
- In Little Havana, long considered the heart of the GOP’s Cuban stronghold, she beat national Democrats’ numbers by 25 points.
- Analysts across the spectrum agree: Republicans are hemorrhaging Cuban voters, and the shift is accelerating.
Latino voters are sending a message loud and clear: Trump’s cruelty on immigration, his economic chaos, and his racist attacks are not what our communities want.
👉 This is the opening we’ve been fighting for. Help us break it wide open. |
Why this matters for 2026
Trump’s approval is collapsing — especially among young voters, Latinos, and independents. Democrats are winning races they “shouldn’t” win.
And Latino turnout remains the decisive factor in the states and districts that will determine control of Congress.
But momentum isn’t enough. If we want to transform these breakthrough wins into a national realignment, we need early organizing, not last-minute parachuting.
That’s exactly why Latino Victory exists.
Your contribution today helps us: - Invest in Latino organizers in key states like Florida
- Build trusted relationships in communities MAGA politics has pushed to the brink
- Turn the Miami and Georgia energy into a national Latino surge in 2026
👉 Help us seize this moment while the map is shifting beneath our feet.

This week proved something powerful:
When Latino voters are respected, engaged, and heard — we win. Our democracy wins. And Trump loses.
Let’s keep building.
Con gratitud, Team Latino Victory
