The aim of this work is to draw an X-ray of the PSDB's electoral performance in the presidential elections of the current period called by New Republic, in addition to examining hypotheses for its abrupt and expressive loss of votes in 2018. We will start, however, by approaching the historical framework of the current multiparty period, in which parties such as the PDS, PMDB and PRN, which in their first years under this designation experienced consistent electoral support, saw their popularity crumble in a short period of time, as in what happened with the PSDB in the period between 2014 and 2018. Then, we will proceed with an exposition of the tucana electoral trajectory, having as a starting point the fourth place obtained by Mário Covas in 1989, passing by the PSDB's rise to the Presidency of the Republic in the 1990s with Fernando Henrique Cardoso, and reaching the period between 2002 and 2014 in which the party remained the main option for the electorate that did not opt for the PT. In the final part of this work, we seek to understand what were the PSDB's strategic mistakes and possible inconsistencies that caused it to lose around 85% of the electorate that supported it in 2014 in the 2018 presidential contest. for the abrupt tucana debacle, and that all of them were intertwined and mutually tensioned, our focus in the last chapter will focus on issues related to loyalty and party roots in relation to the PSDB and the brazilian electorate. Our justification for this undertaking lies in the finding that the tucana defeat in 2018 was not an ordinary fact. In addition to the presidential candidate Geraldo Alckmin not having obtained even 5% of the votes in the first round, a very different performance in relation to the national average of the party in the period from 1989 to 2014, the defeat of the PSDB in the most recent election for president of the Republic broke with a pattern of stability in the brazilian party system at the national level that had been observed for more than twenty years
