President Donald Trump picked up more victories for his endorsed candidates Tuesday night.
Following the GOP primary victory in Pennsylvania by Sen.-nominee Dr. Mehmet Oz, Trump's record stood at 100 wins to 6 losses, according to the former president.
He picked up at least 10 more victories with nary a loss in Tuesday's primaries across seven states, including longtime Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., Iowa GOP Gov. Kim Reynolds, and Rep. Matt Rosendale, R-Mont., who won the Republican primary in Montana's U.S. House District 2 race.
Also, Trent Kelly won the Republican nomination for U.S. House in Mississippi's 1st Congressional District.
South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem won the Republican nomination to seek a second term, defeating challenger Steven Haugaard, a member of the South Dakota state House.
Noem, who has been mentioned as a possible vice presidential running-mate if former Trump seeks election again in 2024, is favored to win the Nov. 8 general election in this solidly Republican state.
Incumbent Rep. Doug LaMalfa, R-Calif., advances after Newsmax election partner Decision Desk HQ declared him the top vote-getter with 5% of the vote counted. He will meet the No. 2 finisher for the District 1 U.S. House race in November.
Iowa GOP Reps. Ashley Hinson, District 1, and Randy Feenstra, District 4, were unopposed in their primary races, but also received Trump's endorsement.
Results from some Montana and California races were still pending Tuesday night.

Grassley was one of the NINETEEN GOP Senators that voted for the Biden Boondoggle Bill.
We will NEVER Make America Great Again by re-electing Assistant Democrats.
I’m so glad Trump has endorsed Masters in AZ and the phenomenal Kari Lake
Funny, all I heard about in the lamestream media was the six that lost.
He makes some good endorsements, and he makes some bad ones.
94.55%.
Not bad.
Not bad at all.
As a result we are going to end up with amnesty and gun control.
Winning?????
One of the problems of the right is the impulse to sacrifice the good to the perfect. Grassley has been a solid conservative senator for a long time (maybe too long by some accounts but that's a different discussion). The question should be, what's the next best alternative to Grassley? The unknown republican who ran against him in the primary? And if he beats Grassley, the seat is in play this fall, whereas Grassley is a pretty safe bet in the general election.
So because Grassley's not perfect, we're willing to put a safe seat at risk. Democrats NEVER do this which is why they hold their majorities much longer than republicans do, generally speaking. In the practical world of politics, sometimes ideological purity needs to give way to real world considerations.
Grassley is WAY better than the democratic alternative, and WAY more likely to win in the fall, than his primary opponent.
We can discuss where the line is. However, folks like Cheney and Romney do more harm than good. More importantly, we can do MUCH better in Wyoming and Utah.
I will tolerate a Chris Smith in New Jersey because he’s as good as we are going to get there.
But we can make a distinction between those who are Trumpers/Freedom Coalition, go along to get along types who are ok 80% of the time and 100% of the time on biggies (e.g. dumping Obamacare, SCOTUS picks) and saboteurs who happen to run under the Republican banner. Also, we can have higher standards in the primaries.
That right: “Trump is losing his influence!”
How many were like these three where there was virtually zero chance of Grassley, Reynolds, or Rosendale losing?
“How many were like these three where there was virtually zero chance of Grassley, Reynolds, or Rosendale losing?”
Somewhere around 90%?
I guess we can “credit” Trump with the victory for RINO #1 (Oz) over RINO #2 (McCormick) in the PA Senate race, which otherwise might not have happened.
“Funny, all I heard about in the lamestream media was the six that lost.”
That is our media alright. You never get “the rest of the story”.
Wait. What? This surely can’t be possible. Everyday I read headlines touting one of these six as positive proof that Trump has lost all his support with Republican voters.
Six Trump endorsed candidates failed their primaries. This shows the luster is wearing off of the Trump mystic. /cnn
Oh for heaven’s sake. Shut up...
What the hell is it with you guys?
Name one person that has this kind of clout other than
Trump right now. Please...
He is placing a lot of new good blood in there, and all
you can do is complain.
Who was the only perfect man you know of?
Is He running for office?
APPLAUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
