'This is a warning sign!' Fox & Friends freaks over Dem victory in GOP stronghold

Fox News’ Brian Kilmeade is sounding the alarm Wednesday morning after Republicans faced yet another election defeat Tuesday after a Democrat won the mayoral race in Miami, Florida, a seat that has been held by Republicans for nearly three decades.

Democratic candidate Eileen Higgins won Tuesday’s election handily, defeating her GOP opponent, Emilio Gonzalez, who was officially endorsed by President Donald Trump, with nearly 60% of the vote. And on Tuesday, “Fox and Friends” host Brian Kilmeade issued a grave warning to the Trump administration, begging the president to “examine” his “aggressive” deportation policy that he argued may have put off Hispanic voters.

“If the numbers show the Hispanic vote went heavily for the Democrat, that is a warning sign for next year,” Kilmeade said.

“They love him at the border – they don't necessarily love the aggressive tactics going to Home Depot or landscape trucks dragging people off. The perception is that they're being grabbed because they're Hispanics. They need to examine that position when it comes to illegal immigration. Yes, it got him elected, but the way you implement it is not grading over 50%.”

Higgins’ victory marks just the latest in a series of election losses for the GOP, which includes last week’s congressional race in Tennessee, which, while the GOP Trump-backed candidate came out on top, was far closer than what experts expected from a district that supported Trump by double digits in 2024.

Kilmeade also expressed fear that Miami’s election upset may bode poorly for Trump’s redistricting effort in Texas, which was designed to give Republicans five additional House seats, but hinges on Trump maintaining his standing among Hispanic voters.

“Now I heard in many ways you look at Miami as an anomaly – there's a lot of conservative Hispanics in the area – but, if the administration does not win the Hispanic vote, the Texas redistricting will not work because it's all based on the president continuing to get 47% of the Hispanic vote!” Kilmeade warned.

“[Trump] got the job really because he promised to crack down at the border, which he did. When it comes to the 12 million illegals that are here, that's going to be the key: how you round them up.”
