I saw online that 91% of Trump endorsed candidates lost

Is that the right number? I'm sure he endorsed DeSantis and Rick Scott, as well as DeWine in Ohio

Trump scorecard: The president endorsed all of these candidates. Did they win?

WASHINGTON
President Donald Trump endorsed nearly 100 candidates for Senate, House and governor in Tuesday’s elections as he tried to sway Americans to vote for like-minded politicians who will help determine how successful his second two years in office will be.

As of Wednesday afternoon, 45 of 78 endorsed candidates whose races had been called won, giving Trump a 58 percent success rate. Twenty-nine endorsed incumbents won, while 12 lost.
