Tsai herself may be nearing the end of her tenure, but her ideas continue to motivate the party and the country.

The PRC insists that the 1992 Consensus is simply one China (the PRC), so the DPP is now seen as the party defending the status quo. The KMT is still stuck with the electorally unviable 1992 Consensus (one China, each side with its own interpretation) as the cornerstone of how to deal with China. However, there is no Taiwanese or Chinese way to pave a road or subsidize false teeth, so the KMT is not necessarily disadvantaged in local politics.
