Registered Dems Fall To Third Place In Former Blue Metro Of Miami

The Democratic Party is facing a difficult start to the week as new data shows a dramatic loss of voters in a major metropolitan area.

Once considered a Democratic stronghold with over 100,000 more registered Democrats than Republicans, Miami-Dade County in Florida has now shifted, giving the GOP a voter registration advantage, according to Gov. Ron DeSantis.

This shift reflects a broader statewide trend over the past decade. A clear example of the changing political landscape is Florida Senate Minority Leader Jason Pizzo’s recent decision to leave the Democratic Party, declaring just weeks ago that the party is “dead.”

“A decade ago Miami-Dade county was a deep blue county with hundreds of thousands more registered Democrats than Republicans,” Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis wrote concerning the news. “Today, the county — with more than 2.8 million people — has a Republican voter registration advantage. Nobody would have predicted this ten years ago.”

The Hill added:

Republicans made up 464,370 voters, or 34 percent of voters, in the county, while Democrats made up 440,790 voters, or 32.27 percent. Voters classified as “others” made up 460,783 voters, or 33.73 percent. The updated numbers came after the county completed its off-year voter roll maintenance. According to Decision Desk HQ data science director Michael Pruser, the county shed 172,747 voters from its active rolls. That led to Republicans netting more than 38,000 voters.

While Miami-Dade County has historically leaned Democratic, there have been signs the county has shifted in recent years. Last year, President Trump flipped the county at the presidential level for the first time in 36 years. That win was a part of a slew of wins in the state in November that further cemented the state’s status as a deep-red state.

“From Rubio to DeSantis to Trump, this victory is a testament to the strength of Republican leadership and grassroots power. What was once blue is now a blazing red fortress—and we’re charging toward an even brighter future!” Florida’s Republican Party celebrated in a statement.
