Damaged? Maybe for a week , in the media, but i see more and more GOP folks saying it wasnt Trump on the ballot last week. When is the last time you saw a politician take responsibility for their own failures. Its seems like the Trump backed candidates did well. So are the ones who lost and their allies are more likely to blame themselves for running lousy campaigns or the low hanging fruit… Trump. This is not a new phenomenon- GOP attacking Trump… is it? Cant wait for his announcement.
Trump is trying to take credit for the safe bet races of people like Rubio, Grassley, and Rand Paul when he talks about his "93% winning endorsements!" but the real test is how did Trump's picks do in the swing states he lost in 2020 but will need to win in 2024 if he wants to have a shot?
Let's take a look:
Governors:
Lombardo: W
Lake: L
Mastriano: L
Michels: L
Dixon: L
Perdue: L
Senate:
Johnson: W
Walker: RO
Masters: L
Oz: L
Laxalt: L
Bolduc: L
Secretaries of State:
Finchem: L
Karamo: L
Marchant: L
Hice: L
I see more and more Republicans coming out against Trump. Trump is the supposed leader of the Party and with that comes being accountable for the performance of the party.
