LIVE: Former President Donald Trump Holding Save America Rally in Waukesha, WI…

August 5, 2022 by Michael Foster Leave a Comment

Former President Donald Trump will be holding a Save America Rally in Waukesha, Wisconsin at 7 p.m CDT. He will be speaking in support of Tim Michels, who is running for governor of the state.

Michels received the former president’s endorsement in June, and he is running against Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch in the Republican gubernatorial primary, set to be held August 9. Kleefisch enjoys the support of former Vice President Mike Pence, causing this race to echo the recent gubernatorial primary in Arizona, where the former running mates also supported different candidates.

As with several primary races this year, this one has been interpreted as part of a “proxy war” between Trump and the Republican establishment to shape the future of the party. As of Wednesday, Trump’s endorsement record sits at 172-10.

Trump's Endorsement Record Sits at 172-10 After Perfect Picks in KS, MI, MO

August 3, 2022 by Nick Gilbertson Leave a Comment

Candidates backed by former President Donald J. Trump are now 172-10 in statewide and federal races in 2022 after a perfect night in Kansas, Michigan, and Missouri. His candidates are undefeated so far in Arizona – but results are still pending in the gubernatorial race – while he also has two candidates in Washington whose races are still awaiting results.

All five of the 45th president’s picks in Kansas officially secured their nominations Tuesday night, according to the Associated Press election results compiled by the New York Times. Sen. Jerry Moran (R-KS) handily beat out his primary challenger Joan Farr, while Attorney General Derek Schmidt blew out his opponent Arlyn Briggs in the contest for the gubernatorial nomination. Reps. Tracey Mann (R-KS), Jake LaTurner (R-KS), and Ron Estes (R-KS) officially clinched their nominations as well.

It was a similar story in Michigan, where all eight candidates with Trump’s backing advanced to the general election. John Gibbs and GOP gubernatorial nominee Tudor Dixon headlined the contests in the Great Lake State. Gibbs proved victorious in his race against Rep. Peter Meijer (R-MI), who was one of the ten impeachment Republicans. Dixon advanced to the general after securing 40.6 percent of the vote, nearly doubling her closest competitor Kevin Rinke at 21.9 percent.

The remaining Trump-backed candidates who secured nominations in Michigan include:

  • Rep. Jack Bergman – Republican nominee for the First Congressional District
  • Rep. John Moolenaar – Republican nominee for the Second Congressional District
  • Rep. Bill Huizenga – Republican nominee for the Fourth Congressional District
  • Rep. Tim Walberg – Republican nominee for the Fifth Congressional District
  • Rep. Lisa McClain – Republican nominee for the Ninth Congressional District
  • John James – Republican nominee for the Tenth Congressional District

The winning continued in Missouri, where Attorney General Eric Schmitt – one of the “ERIC[s]” Trump endorsed in the race Monday night – clinched the GOP nomination for U.S. Senate. Reps. Blaine Luetkemeyer (R-MO), Sam Graves (R-MO), and Jason Smith (R-MO) all advanced to the general election in their reelection bids.

Out in Arizona, Blake Masters, along with five other candidates, took home nominations, while three races remain undecided, though Trump-endorsed candidates lead them all. Masters ran as a populist candidate and beat out opponents including Jim Lamon and Mark Brnovich, securing 39 percent of the vote with 78 percent reporting.

Trump-backed gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake has taken an over 11,000 vote lead with 80 percent of the vote reported in her contest against Karrin Taylor Robson, who is backed by former Vice President Mike Pence. Further results in the race from Maricopa County are not expected until 7:00 p.m. local time, according to county Recorder Stephen Richer.

Aside from Masters, the other five candidates who clinched nominations Tuesday include:

  • Eli Crane – Republican nominee for the Second Congressional District
  • Rep. Andy Biggs  – Republican nominee for the Fifth Congressional District
  • Rep. Debbie Lesko – Republican nominee for the Eighth Congressional District
  • Rep. Paul Gosar – Republican nominee for the Ninth Congressional District
  • State Rep. Mark Finchem – Republican nominee for Secretary of State
  • Abe Hamadeh – Republican nominee for Attorney General
  • Rep. David Schweikert – Republican nominee for the First Congressional District

Similar to Arizona, results have stalled in Washington State, where Trump-backed candidates Joe Kent and Lauren Culp challenged pro-impeachment Reps. Jaime Herrera Beutler (R-WA) and Dan Newhouse (R-WA). Kent sits in third place in the open primary race for the Third Congressional District with 57 percent reporting, while Culp is also in third place with 47 percent reporting in the Fourth Congressional District. Both candidates need to come in at least second place in order to ensure their advancements to the general election.

Trump entered the evening with an endorsement record of 147-10 following a major win in Maryland, where his candidate Dan Cox blew out Kelly Schulz, who was endorsed by Gov. Larry Hogan (R-MD). His endorsement record is now perfect in 26 states following Tuesday, and it could very well grow by the end of Wednesday: 

  1. Texas:  33-0
  2. Indiana: 6-0
  3.  Ohio: 16-0
  4. West Virginia: 2-0 
  5. Kentucky: 6-0 
  6. Pennsylvania: 8-0 
  7. Alabama: 6-0 
  8. Arkansas: 5-0 
  9. California: 7-0 [8-0 with Rep. Connie Conway’s (R-CA) special election victory] 
  10. Iowa: 4-0
  11. Mississippi: 1-0 
  12. Montana: 2-0
  13. New Jersey: 1-0 
  14. South Dakota: 1-0 
  15. Nevada: 2-0
  16. North Dakota: 2-0 
  17. Virginia: 4-0 
  18. Alaska: 1-0
  19. Colorado: 1-0 
  20. Illinois: 4-0 
  21. Oklahoma: 4-0 
  22. Utah: 3-0 
  23. Maryland: 1-0
  24. Kansas: 5-0
  25. Missouri: 4-0
  26. Michigan: 7-0

Moreover, the 45th president’s endorsement record remains perfect in his U.S. Senate endorsements with Masters’s win in Arizona, Schmitt’s victory in the Show Me State, and Moran’s win in Kanas. The thirteen other U.S. Senate candidates who have prevailed in their primaries include:

  1. J.D. Vance — Republican nominee for U.S. Senate Ohio
  2. Sen. Mike Crapo (R-ID) — Republican nominee for U.S. Senate in Idaho
  3. Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) — Republican nominee for U.S. Senate in Kentucky
  4. Rep. Ted Budd (R-NC) — Republican nominee for U.S. Senate in North Carolina
  5. Dr. Mehmet Oz — Republican nominee for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania
  6. Sen. John Boozman (R-AR) — Republican nominee for U.S Senate in Arkansas
  7. Herschel Walker — Republican nominee for U.S. Senate in Georgia
  8. Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) — Republican nominee for U.S. Senate in Iowa
  9. Former Nevada Attorney General Adam Laxalt — Republican nominee for U.S. Senate in Nevada
  10. Sen. John Hoeven (R-ND) — Republican nominee for U.S. Senate in North Dakota
  11. Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) — Republican nominee for U.S. Senate in South Carolina
  12. Katie Britt — Republican nominee for U.S. Senate in Alabama
  13. Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) — Republican nominee for U.S. Senate in Utah

The midterm primaries pick up again Thursday night in Tennessee.

MI GOP Gubernatorial Nominee Tudor Dixon Touts Trump Endorsement as 'Rocket Launch' for Campaign

August 3, 2022 by Trent Baker Leave a Comment

Fresh off securing the GOP bid in Michigan’s gubernatorial primary, Tudor Dixon is crediting former President Donald Trump’s backing for serving as a “rocket launch” for her campaign.

Dixon told Fox Business Network’s “Varney & Company” on Wednesday that Trump’s support “helped quite a bit.”

“I think that helped quite a bit,” Dixon said of Trump’s endorsement just days before the primary. “And we were rising in the polls, but, boy, that really shot us. It was our rocket launch at the end of the campaign. So, we are very grateful … to the president for coming into the race. And it seemed to seal the deal at the end, and we are excited about where we are going now.”

The Michigan Republican then railed against her incumbent opponent, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D), and her handling of the coronavirus pandemic.

“The main issue is education, but that’s a combination of a few different things in the state,” Dixon outlined. “Education is key. We are 38th in the nation. All of the data shows us that by 2030 if we don’t make a change, we are going to be in the bottom five states in the nation. It is critical that our kids are getting the right education but also getting back on track.”

She continued, “[T]his is something that when we look back at 2020 what Gretchen Whitmer did — she kept our kids out of school and then had the opportunity to give them reading scholarships to get them back on track, and she vetoed that. So, it is really important not only that we improve our education system as a whole but get our students back on track and make sure we are providing that to parents; whatever they need to get their kids back on track.”

After winning Michigan's GOP gubernatorial primary, Tudor Dixon will face off against Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer; Eric Schmitt wins Missouri GOP Senate primary

August 2, 2022 by Alex Nitzberg Leave a Comment

Tudor Dixon secured victory on Tuesday in Michigan’s Republican gubernatorial primary contest, and will now go on to face off against incumbent Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in the governor’s race later this year.

Former President Donald Trump backed Dixon in the GOP primary.

“The Great State of Michigan is being destroyed by the Radical Left Democrats. Governor Gretchen Whitmer is the Queen of lockdowns (except for her husband), school closures, and a suffering economy that’s not just hurting Michigan, but the entire Country. It’s time for a BIG change, and a BIG comeback!” Trump declared in a statement. “Tudor Dixon will make a great Governor and has my Complete and Total Endorsement. She will not let you down!”

Trump had also issued a statement endorsing “ERIC” in Missouri’s Republican U.S. Senate primary, an unusual move considering that there was more than one candidate with that name running in the contest.

“There is a BIG Election in the Great State of Missouri, and we must send a MAGA Champion and True Warrior to the U.S. Senate, someone who will fight for Border Security, Election Integrity, our Military and Great Veterans, together with having a powerful toughness on Crime and the Border. We need a person who will not back down to the Radical Left Lunatics who are destroying our Country. I trust the Great People of Missouri, on this one, to make up their own minds, much as they did when they gave me landslide victories in the 2016 and 2020 Elections, and I am therefore proud to announce that ERIC has my Complete and Total Endorsement!” Trump said in the statement.

Missouri attorney general Eric Schmitt took the win, besting a field of candidates that also included former Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens, U.S. Rep. Vicky Hartzler, and others.

Kansas attorney general Derek Schmidt won the state’s GOP gubernatorial primary and will move on to compete against incumbent Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly during the general election. Schmidt had been endorsed by Trump.

Trump is widely expected to mount another White House bid during the 2024 election cycle.
