Democrats are gaining ground in South Florida, where they have traditionally gained support among Cuban and Venezuelan voters in the past decade. The party's support among Latino voters is waning ahead of the 2026 midterms due to a sluggish economy and high living costs, as well as President Donald Trump's aggressive immigration agenda, complacency and sluggish economy. This could create an opening for Democrats in one of the GOP's most reliable strongholds. If Democrats succeed in building coalitions among Latinos, it could last well beyond 2026. Recent votes have helped Democrats gain a Florida House district in March and a Miami mayoral race. However, there are still a challenge to convince staunch, skeptical Republican supporters to change their votes. Early signs indicate positive prospects for Democrats, but they face a uphill battle to convince them.
