Shifting alliances and new coalitions: Why Trump's path to victory runs through Miami

Heading into the final days of the election, with polls and turnout trends portending another close Florida race, President Donald Trump’s hopes of winning another four years in the White House could very well depend on his ability to squeeze every last drop of red out of Miami-Dade County.

Trump, a Republican who rose to power four years ago on a hardline immigration platform, will touch down late Sunday to speak in the deep blue region of his must-win home state, where more than half the population was born in another country.

The president’s late-night rally — coming less than 48 hours before Election Day — reflects the possibility of a new-look Florida coalition for Trump. Four years after losing Miami-Dade, the state’s most populous county, by nearly 300,000 votes, Trump is hoping Cuban-Americans, Nicaraguans, Venezuelans and Colombians will help him survive in a battleground known for deciding elections by razor-thin margins.

In a county as big as Miami-Dade, that could be a 100,000-vote swing. And I can tell you being down there, the Cuban-American community is fired up. The Venezuelan Americans.

I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.
