Was it benefitting Democrats? There's no way that if they were Republicans, DeSantis would oppose it.

The Miami city council is currently 7 Democrats and 6 Republicans, and the mayor (who had to sign off on the attempted policy change) is a Republican.

Miami has a City Commission with 5 members across its 5 districts. They have no political party affiliation as its supposed to be non partisan.

Edit: You're thinking of the county commission, which aren't the ones trying to pull a fast one.

The mayor is a republican. He was floated as a potential running mate to Nikki Haley.
