The piece notes that Trump has moved early, issuing more than 200 endorsements across the Senate, House, and state offices in an effort too shape the field and influence outcomes.<\/p>\n<p>Key patterns:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; The endorsements are designed to protect incumbents, clear crowded primaries, and back Republicans running in districts currently held by Democrats.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; The list covers a broad range of states, with numerous House candidates and several Senate and governor contenders highlighted.<\/p>\n<p>A few representative examples:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Alabama: endorsements for Senate candidate Barry Moore and several House members.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Alaska: endorsements for Sen. Dan Sullivan and Rep. Nick Begich.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Florida: a wide slate including candidates for governor, the U.S. Senate in other contexts,and many House seats.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Michigan: endorsement for Rep.Mike Rogers for senate, along with other GOP incumbents and candidates.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Texas: extensive endorsements for many House candidates and several state offices; the article notes Trump\u2019s nuanced stance on some Senate contenders.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Other states show a mix of endorsements for incumbents, Republican challengers, or no endorsement in certain races (such as, some states have no Senate race that cycle, or Trump has not endorsed in certain statewide contests).<\/p>\n<p>Overall takeaway:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; The piece presents a broad, nationwide effort by Trump to influence GOP primaries ahead of the 2026 elections, using endorsements to shape candidates across the spectrum of federal and state offices. It also notes that not every state or race has a Trump endorsement, and some races have no Senate contest at all.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Trump endorsement tracker: Here&rsquo;s who the president has picked in GOP midterm election primaries<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2508025\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\">Donald Trump<\/a> has moved early to shape the GOP field as <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/republicans\/\">Republicans<\/a> head into the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/2026-election\/\">2026 elections<\/a>, issuing over 200 <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/endorsements\/\">endorsements<\/a> across the U.S. Senate, House, and state legislative races.<\/p>\n<p>Republicans hold a narrow majority in the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/house\/\">House<\/a>, and the party risks losing control of the chamber if <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/democrats\/\">Democrats<\/a> net just a handful of seats.<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/investigations\/4458485\/liberals-join-soros-bankrolling-dc-jury-nullification\/\">Mainstream liberals join Soros in bankrolling group backing DC jury nullification effort<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/congressional\/4460008\/ken-paxton-frames-john-cornyn-establishment-candidate-first-rally-early-voting\/\">Paxton frames Cornyn as establishment candidate in first rally of campaign as early voting begins<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/congressional\/4459900\/democrats-recognize-must-deliver-less-chaotic-results-guy-benson\/\">Democrats recognize they must &#8216;deliver less chaotic results&#8217; to regain power: Guy Benson<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>Trump&rsquo;s endorsements are largely aimed at protecting incumbents and clearing primary fields while also backing Republicans running in Democrat-held districts and states.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-canva wp-block-embed-canva\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\"> <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Scrollable HOUSE trump endorsements\" src=\"https:\/\/www.canva.com\/design\/DAHA82Orfd4\/nLYGGcD6CzDRLatbslmpCA\/view?embed&amp;meta\" height=\"600\" width=\"696\" style=\"width: 100%; height: 600px; max-height: 80vh; border: none; border-radius: 8px; padding: 0; margin: 0; overflow: hidden;\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" allow=\"fullscreen\"><\/iframe> <\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-alabama\">Alabama<\/h2>\n<p>Trump has endorsed Rep.
