Miami-Dade's Cuban-American and broader Latino electorate has shifted sharply rightward over two election cycles, turning a county that delivered double-digit Democratic margins as recently as 2016 into a reliably Republican one by 2024.

The Democratic margin in Miami-Dade County reached its widest at ninety-six points in 1892. The margin in 2024 was eleven points — a notable narrowing.

Miami-Dade County's loyalty is rooted in its place. Median household income of $71,753, a 27% non-Hispanic-white share, and a population of 2,738,356 together describe a community whose political habits are deeply settled. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Imperial County and Passaic County.
