Trump fans in Little Havana show their support

Floridians turned out in huge numbers at the polls Tuesday to weigh in on the presidential race with 29 Electoral College votes on the line that are vital for President Donald Trump’s reelection chances. The high turnout comes after a record-breaking 9 million ballots were cast before Election Day. In Miami's Little Havana, enthusiastic Trump supporters waved flags on the sidewalks, confident that he will win the state.Once again, Florida was considered a toss-up. Polls have shown the Republican incumbent and Democratic former Vice President Joe Biden virtually tied. And while Democrats dominated the record vote-by-mail ballots, Republicans closed the gap with early in-person voting and were expected to turn out in higher numbers on Election Day. In Miami-Dade, the state's most populous region, turnout was also heavy, running nearly 2 percentage points ahead of 2016. The heavier turnout did not necessarily translate to Democratic votes, however. Two Miami-area Republicans defeated a pair of Democratic incumbents for seats in the U.S. House. Florida now has 14 Republicans and 13 Democrats in the U.S. House — and that majority will increase by two. The Trump-Biden contest is the main event, and both campaigns sought to encourage turnout among their Black and Hispanic supporters.Trump and Vice President Mike Pence and Biden and running mate Sen. Kamala Harris have made multiple campaign stops in Florida in the final weeks of the election, as have Trump’s family and Obama.
