The last of the midterm primaries took place Tuesday night. After making over 200 endorsements in the Republican primaries, former President Donald Trump achieved many notable wins, while also notching a few significant losses.
Trump’s track record of endorsement victories and defeats are seen by many as an indication of his strength in the Republican Party, and whether he will be competitive enough in 2024 to mount a presidential comeback campaign.
Most of Trump’s endorsed candidates across the U.S. House, Senate and various statewide races ran unopposed or faced political neophytes whose campaigns hardly registered a serious challenge. Three-fourths of the GOP incumbents Trump backed were already expected to win, according to a review conducted by NPR.
