| This is the "big" day when former President Donald Trump has promised his "big" announcement. Trump has teased this for months, and it's clear he's wanted to make a third run for president. |
| But Trump also thought things would look quite different a week after the midterms. Rather than being a GOP kingmaker, however, he looks like an absolute failure. Most of his chosen candidates flopped – and the ones who ran apart from the former president did well. |

| The most stunning victory of election night came from Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who helped lead a statewide Republican sweep. This was in spite of Trump, who oddly chose to attack DeSantis – a rising figure on the right with presidential ambitions of his own – ahead of the election. |
| The main takeaway here, as I detail in a recent column, is that Trump came off as a big loser, and the American people spoke loudly that they are ready to move away from the election denialism and division that Trump embodies. |
| Will Trump be able to look beyond his ego and see that it's time for him to go away? Unfortunately, I doubt it. |
