Trump also experienced a setback in Michigan\u2019s 8th District where his endorsed candidate, Amir Hassan, finished significantly behind the opponent despite suspending his campaign. Trump boasts a 98% success rate in primary endorsements this year, maintaining high efficacy in his political influence.  <\/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 did not win every race Tuesday night as Republicans cast ballots in primary elections, but most of the candidates he backed were winners.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was 28-1 last night on Endorsements, and numerous of them were outliers, but if you studied the Fake News, you would think it was just the opposite, 1-28,\u201d Trump posted on <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/posts\/117044740155920219\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll they talked about was the one, and that\u2019s why they call it the FAKE NEWS!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As Trump noted on <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/posts\/117040482647901815\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a>, Mike Rogers won the GOP contest for Michigan\u2019s opening U.S. Senate seat, while far-left Democratic candidate Abdul El-Sayed appeared to win the Democratic primary.
