Republicans outnumber Democrats in Miami-Dade County for first time
For the first time, Republicans have a registration advantage over Democrats in Miami-Dade County, Florida. As of May, ther are 464,370 registered Republicans, compared to 440,790 registered Democrats, reflecting a shift from the county’s traditionally Democratic stronghold to a Republican majority. This change has been attributed to various factors, including voter roll maintenance that removed a important number of voters from the rolls, allowing Republicans to gain over 38,000 new registrants. Governor Ron DeSantis highlighted this transformation, noting that the county has evolved from a deep blue area to a Republican stronghold over the last decade. The shift has also been evidenced in recent elections, where both Governor DeSantis and former President Trump secured victories in the county. Republicans in Florida now hold an overall voter registration advantage of over 1.2 million, indicating a significant political shift in the state since the 2016 election.
Republicans outnumber Democrats in Miami-Dade County for first time
Republicans, for the first time, have a registration advantage in Florida’s Miami-Dade County.
As of May, there are 464,370 registered Republicans in the county compared to 440,790 registered Democrats, which translates to 34% of the county being registered with the Republican Party to 32.3% with the Democratic Party. This comes as Republicans flipped the once Democratic county in the 2024 election, marking the first time Miami-Dade voted for a Republican for president in 36 years.
“A decade ago, Miami-Dade County was a deep blue county with hundreds of thousands more registered Democrats than Republicans,” said Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL). “Today, the county, with more than 2.8 million people, has a Republican voter registration advantage. Nobody would have predicted this 10 years ago.”
DeSantis also won Miami-Dade in his 2022 reelection bid. He and President Donald Trump won the county by essentially the same margins, with DeSantis winning by 11.3 points and Trump by 11.4 points.
These figures came after Miami-Dade executed its off-year voter roll maintenance and took 172,747 voters from its active rolls, which led to Republicans gaining more than 38,000 voters, according to Decision Desk HQ.
Voters classified as “others” made up 460,783 voters of the county’s voters, or 33.7%.
FLORIDA REPUBLICANS PROVE MIDTERM WAVE WAS NO FLUKE WITH SWEEPING WINS

“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 said in a statement.
