thebalanced.newsTrump's Endorsements Reshape Republican Primaries Ahead of November Midterms
Donald Trump has been actively endorsing candidates loyal to him, leading to the defeat of several Republican incumbents who opposed him. While this strategy energizes his core Make America Great Again supporters, some Republican strategists warn it may alienate moderate and independent voters crucial in competitive midterm races. This dynamic could impact the Republican Party's chances of retaining control of Congress in the November elections, as candidates may feel pressured to align closely with Trump despite potential electoral risks.
