Mayor Francis Suarez Explains How Miami Remains Safest Major City in America – Opinion

Miami Mayor Francis Suarez explained why his city is America’s safest city. Maria Bartiromo, Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo, asked him if he had 2024 presidential aspirations.

Suarez said:

“When you compare the Miami miracle to the Washington nightmare, you see a situation where in Washington, inflation is rampant, everyday goods are more expensive because of deficit spending … In Miami, we balance our budget. The largest surplus in history is $145 million. We keep taxes low while Washington keeps increasing taxes.”

Suarez added that Miami has a record-low 1.4 percent unemployment rate, and the city has seen a 12 percent increase in revenue year-over-year, “which is the second-most in recorded history.” This type of leadership should be a model for the nation.

Suarez continued:

“Miami was voted the happiest city in America and the healthiest city in America. So it turns out if people are healthy, if people are happy, if they’re paying low taxes, if they’re working, they’re not going to be committing homicide … So it’s a very easy recipe for success. It can be scaled to the rest of the country, but it takes political courage.”

Suarez talked about how people are finally realizing that socialism is not working, will not work and was not worth their time.

“The numbers that we’re seeing actually tell a different story, that either more Republicans are moving over here or people are changing to become Republicans because they’re sort of fleeing the socialist model, which we know has never worked in the history of humanity, hasn’t worked in any country, and it hasn’t worked in any setting.”

“It’s not going to work because it pushes people out … Like New York famously pushed out Amazon HQ, too, and San Francisco famously pushed out Elon Musk.”

Bartiromo asked Suarez about the possibility of a bid to become White House Secretary in 2024.

“Look, it’s a long way aways … Right now, I’m excited to preside over the presidency of the U.S. Conference of Mayors, and try to convince other mayors across America that the Miami model works, that they need to adopt it so that they can create prosperity in their cities.”

“If that continues to work, and if Miami continues to be successful … then I think there’s going to be tremendous amount of options available for me politically if I decide that I want to continue to serve.”

He said:

“We’re doing our due diligence and, of course, doing what I have to do as mayor to try to continue to highlight the things that are happening in Miami … which we think, again, should be a model for the rest of the country.”

He also spoke to Fox News host Tucker Carlson — watch:

Suarez’s formula for success is not complicated: safety, low taxes, limited government, and keeping the economy booming. Suarez’s success in Miami has made him a possible Presidential candidate. Suarez is 44 years old, so we could even see him run for Governor once DeSantis is termed out if he doesn’t want to run for President right away. Suarez will show Floridians that he is capable of doing anything he chooses.

There will be many options for the Vice President, regardless of whether former President Donald Trump chooses to run in 2024. There are plenty of options for Trump if he doesn’t run. These include Governor Ron DeSantis, Mayor Francis Suarez, Governor Glenn Youngkin, and many others in the GOP.
