As Republican operatives awoke on Wednesday morning, two stark realities came into focus. First, of course, was the gut-punch realization that their “red wave” had not materialized: Fetterman beat Oz; Kelly leads Masters; Georgia is headed to a runoff. Low-quality and election-denying candidates (Tudor Dixon, Doug Mastriano, John Gibbs) had clearly cost them winnable seats, and control of Congress may be unknown for weeks. Murdochworld quickly blamed Donald Trump for his “toxic” endorsements; meanwhile, MAGAworld called for the swampy heads of “The Macs,” Kevin McCarthy and Mitch McConnell. But there was also another narrative that began to coalesce upon which all could agree: Florida, the new spiritual center of the Republican Party, looked like the happiest place on earth.
