Election results also show that 13 Trump-endorsed candidates lost in highly competitive or closely watched races. Of the 219 wins referenced by Trump, only around a dozen of those races were extremely competitive. <\/p>\n<p>On Election Day, Trump <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/trump-on-his-candidates-i-should-get-all-the-credit-if-they-win-not-be-blamed-at-all-if-they-lose\">told Markie Martin<\/a> on NewsNation that if the candidates he endorsed won, he \u201cshould get all the credit,\u201d adding, \u201cAnd if they lose, I should not be blamed at all, okay?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut it\u2019ll probably be just the opposite,\u201d he continued. \u201cWhen they win, I think they\u2019re going to do very well, I\u2019ll probably be given very little credit even though in many cases I told people to run and they ran and they turned out to be very good candidates. You know, they\u2019ve turned out to be very good candidates.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Last April, Trump <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2022\/04\/09\/trump-leans-toward-dr-oz-in-pennsylvania-senate-race-00024272\">endorsed<\/a> Dr. Mehmet Oz over David McCormick, the former Under Secretary of the Treasury for International Affairs, saying, \u201cI have known Dr. Oz for many years, as have many others, even if only through his very successful television show. He has lived with us through the screen and has always been popular, respected, and smart.\u201d Trump <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2022\/04\/09\/trump-leans-toward-dr-oz-in-pennsylvania-senate-race-00024272\">reportedly said<\/a> of Oz, \u201cHe\u2019s been on TV in people\u2019s bedrooms and living rooms for years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At the time of Trump\u2019s endorsement, McCormick had a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realclearpolitics.com\/epolls\/2022\/senate\/pa\/pennsylvania_senate_republican_primary-7485.html\">six-point lead<\/a> in the polls; within days Oz caught up to McCormick.
