Donald Trump’s endorsement record took a hit in August as six of his backed candidates for House and governor lost their primaries. The losses came despite Trump securing the most sought-after endorsement in Republican politics.
Overall, Trump-backed candidates still maintained a strong record this cycle, winning 67 primaries compared to just six losses. The August setbacks mark a rare dip in an otherwise dominant endorsement run.
Two more key primaries remain next week, testing Trump’s influence ahead of the general election. The results could further shape the political landscape.
