Florida GOP Celebrates Crushing Decades of Democrat Control
MIAMI, FL - In a monumental victory for the Republican Party, Miami-Dade County has decisively flipped to a Republican stronghold, obliterating its long-standing status as a Democratic fortress in Florida. This seismic shift in voter registration marks a historic rout of the left’s grip on the county.
The latest voter rolls confirm the GOP’s triumph: 464,370 registered Republicans (34%) now outnumber 440,790 Democrats (32.27%) and 429,099 independents and third-party registrants (31.41%). The red wave has officially swept Miami-Dade.
Once a liberal citadel, Miami-Dade’s transformation is a stinging rebuke to Democrats. In 2016, Hillary Clinton coasted to a 30-point victory here, but the GOP’s relentless focus on freedom, prosperity, and resistance to radical Democratic socialism has turned the tide. Cuban and Venezuelan voters, fed up with leftist policies, have flocked to the Republican banner. Governor Ron DeSantis smashed the Democrat stranglehold in 2022, President Donald Trump sealed their defeat in 2024, and Republican candidates steamrolled key local races in November, seizing Sheriff, Supervisor of Elections, Clerk of Court, and Tax Collector.
“This is a total repudiation of the Democrats’ failed agenda. Miami-Dade is no longer their safe haven—it’s the beating heart of the Republican revolution,” declared Evan Power, Chairman of the Republican Party of Florida. “We’re the party of hardworking families, Hispanic patriots, and communities demanding safe streets, top-notch schools, and a booming economy. Miami-Dade proves the unstoppable momentum of the Republican message.”
The Florida GOP credits this landslide to the tireless leadership of Miami-Dade’s Republican warriors:Chairman Kevin Cooper, State Committeeman Juan Porras, State Committeewoman Liliana Ros,former Chairmen Alex Rizo and Rene Garcia, former State Committeeman Kevin Cabrera. U.S. Senator Marco Rubio, a trailblazer since his Florida House days in the early 2000s, laid the bedrock for this historic takeover. Under the leadership of Governor Ron DeSantis, Florida has seen historic growth in Republican voter registration. In 2018, when Governor DeSantis was first elected, Democrats had a 300,000 voter registration edge. Today, the Republican advantage is 1.29 million.
“From Marco Rubio’s early victories to Ron DeSantis’s bold leadership, from Donald Trump’s commanding wins to our fearless donors and grassroots fighters, this is a victory for every Republican who refused to let Miami-Dade stay blue,” Power roared. “Miami-Dade is now a blazing red fortress, and we’re charging toward an even brighter future!”
