But for days, the president, Donald Trump says that his foals republicans have won, ranting without providing any evidence of a “fraud” of the democrats. Whatever happens, the republicans will keep their majority in the Senate in January. But if the headquarters of Florida is finally in the hands of the democrats, their advance will be initiated.

The republican Bush beat the democrat in Florida by 537 votes and won the presidential election.
