Notably, in Georgia, billionaire Rick Jackson, running a campaign aligned with Trump&#8217;s style, defeated Trump-endorsed Lt. Gov. Burt Jones despite spending over $100 million. Trump also congratulated Jackson, praising his campaign.Other endorsed candidates, such as georgia Rep. Mike Collins and Alabama&#8217;s Rep. barry Moore, also won their races comfortably. In Oklahoma, Trump-backed candidate Mike Mazzei advanced to a runoff in the gubernatorial race.Conversely, in Washington, D.C.,socialist candidate janeese Lewis George leads in the Democratic primary for mayor,a race viewed as essentially decided given the city&#8217;s liberal leaning. Trump expressed strong opposition to her potential victory, suggesting possible federal intervention. Trump\u2019s endorsement success remains high, with a 96% win rate in 2024 primaries as well, underscoring his continued influence in U.S. politics.  <\/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\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>President Donald Trump\u2019s strong run of <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >primary endorsement victories continued<\/a> on Tuesday night in Georgia, Alabama, and Oklahoma, with only one <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/white-house-turns-to-legally-dubious-tactics-to-boost-mcauliffe-for-virginia-gov\/\" title=\"White House Turns to Legally Dubious Tactics To Boost McAuliffe for Virginia Gov\">high-profile loss<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/trump-wins-two-loses-one-georgia-billionaire-delivers-rare-blow-endorsement-machine\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fox News<\/a> reported billionaire Rick Jackson defeated Trump-endorsed Georgia Lt.
