In the battle for the Senate, eight candidates with Trump’s endorsement lost their races, while 16 won. High-profile losses included battleground states that were key to Republicans’ effort to flip the Senate, including Herschel Walker’s loss in Georgia, Blake Masters’ loss in Arizona, Adam Laxalt’s loss in Nevada and Mehmet Oz’s loss in Pennsylvania.
Trump-backed candidates saw an even split in governor’s races, with 10 wins and 10 losses.
The "can't lose" races that like endorsed like Marco Rubio or Chuck Grassley. Didn't matter.
It were these crucial swing state races in the states that Trump won in 2016 but lost in 2020 that mattered. Thanks to Trump's horrible picks, nearly all of these states now have Democrat governors and state secretaries, except Georgia where Trump endorsed Kemp's Democrat opponent.
