The Trump supporters gathered at the famed Miami restaurant Versailles to watch the results roll in. Outside of the restaurant, the crowd was a sea of red "Make America Great Again" hats and American flags alongside cars, pick-up trucks, and even a tractor-trailer rolling by honking in support of Trump's reelection.

A wave of support from Hispanic voters gave President Donald Trump a narrow victory in Florida on Tuesday night, boosting his chances of re-election.

Trump, who won the state in 2016, outperformed his 2016 margins with Florida's Hispanic voters, who made up 19% of all the state's voters. A lot of the swing came in Miami-Dade, the county that contains Florida’s largest Cuban and Venezuelan communities, many of whom are strongly anti-left wing.

Trump and his allies have frequently painted opponent Joe Biden, a moderate Democrat, as either a socialist himself, or in hock to the "radical left." Some Miami voters told Reuters this struck home.
