PEMBROKE PARK, Fla. – Going into Tuesday’s election, the polls had Donald Trump trailing Joe Biden in Florida by two or three points.

President Trump won Florida on Election Night, and by more than 3%, tripling his spread from the past presidential election. The woman largely credited with making that happen is Susie Wiles, a veteran GOP strategist who ran successful campaigns for Florida’s last two governors and headed Team Trump’s Florida operations.
