He didn't do it on his own. The Swamp needs a Great Swamp Hope to get rid of Trump, and they chose Ronald Herbert Walker DeSantis and gave him "victories" to prop him up.
Yes, he had a great deal of support from the Florida legislature as well as the people of the Sunshine State. Anything else is seeing a boogeyman.
Come to think of it, Trump didn't accomplish his good deeds by himself either. But I'm sure that to you that's 'different' somehow. It's not.
