A number of Donald Trump's preferred Senate candidates are discovering that the former president’s endorsement is no guarantee of success in a crowded primary

Donald Trump’s favorite in the Alabama Senate race is treading water. His pick in Pennsylvania just bowed out of the GOP primary after losing custody of his children. In Alaska and North Carolina, two other Trump-endorsed Senate candidates are behind in primary election polls.

In Alabama, where Trump remains extremely popular, Rep. Mo Brooks has struggled despite Trump’s endorsement. Brooks, a veteran congressman who lost in a 2017 Senate primary bid, has raised less than half of the $3.7 million his primary opponent Katie Britt has received. Britt has also earned the endorsement of the state’s largest farm organization, the Alabama Farmers Federation — a group that represents one of Trump’s key constituencies.

Trump ignored that request in Alaska, where he has made a priority of ousting Sen. Lisa Murkowski, one of seven Senate Republicans who voted to convict him in his second impeachment trial — and the only one up for reelection in 2022. Mark Walker, a conservative former congressman who is also seeking the GOP Senate nomination, has criticized Budd for his failure to command a lead after receiving both

Jonathan Felts, a senior adviser to Budd’s campaign, said the Trump endorsement has been key to Budd’s ability to catch up with McCrory. They expected it would take from Budd’s May Senate campaign launch until at least March 2022 to close the fundraising and name ID gap between Budd and McCrory. Now, the campaign is nearly there, campaign officials say.

In recent polls, Masters trails well behind state Attorney General Mark Brnovich, whom Trump continues to publicly taunt for not doing enough to overturn Biden’s win in Arizona.

Stop Fake News!

Trump is becoming irrelevant. Desantis and Christie are nipping at his lifts.

Perhaps support from Donald Trump is like support from Benedict Arnold, Aldrich Ames, or Julius Rosenberg. Loyal American politicians should seek support from people who honored their oath to protect the Constitition.

Trump lost his own damn race. Why the hell would anyone want his endorsement?

Hello! No spit Sherlock.
