While Georgia and other key Senate states finish tallying their votes, Florida has been decided since the first hour after polls closed on Election Night. Nobody can deny that Trump's reign as kingmaker of the Republican Party has come to a grinding halt. What should have been a red wave dissolved into steady seas, and the GOP failed to capitalize on a weakened Democratic Party, thanks to terrible candidates whom Trump endorsed in Republican primaries, who never had broad appeal beyond the extreme Trump-supporting wing of the party. Meanwhile, Trump's 2024 rival Ron DeSantis was winning formerly deep blue territory including Miami-Dade, which hasn't been won by a Republican Presidential candidate since George H.W. Bush walloped Mike Dukakis in 1988.
