Trump\u2019s endorsement success rate remains high, with 98% in the 2026 primaries and 96% in 2024, underlining his influential role in candidate nominations. letlow expressed support for ending the filibuster to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/sen-durbin-flip-flops-on-filibuster\/\" title=\"Sen.

Letlow has been serving in Congress as 2021, succeeding her late husband, who died of COVID-19. Other recent results show Trump-backed candidates winning in Georgia, Alabama, and Oklahoma, demonstrating the continued strength of Trump\u2019s endorsement in Republican primaries. However, Trump also experienced a rare defeat in georgia, where billionaire Rick jackson ousted Lieutenant Governor Burt Jones.  <\/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 scored yet another primary endorsement win on Saturday, when Rep.
