Candidates endorsed by Donald Trump swept Republican primaries across America Tuesday night; prompting the former President to comment he went “22 and 0” in places like Ohio and Indiana.
“I was 22 and 0,” Trump told Fox News. “I won every race.”
“I think JD showed tremendous strength,” Trump said. “It was a great victory for everyone, but I am most happy for the Republican Party because we have great candidates. I think all of them will be winning in the fall.
“It was a great evening for the Republican Party and we love all of our candidates from Indiana, from Ohio, I went 22 and 0,” Trump told Fox News.
From Fox News:
Trump endorsed former GOP Sen. David Perdue in Georgia’s gubernatorial race, over incumbent Gov. Brian Kemp. But even without Trump’s endorsement, Kemp is enjoying a lead over Perdue in public opinion polling and fundraising.
Next Tuesday in Nebraska’s primary race for the GOP gubernatorial nomination, Trump is backing Charles Herbster, a multimillionaire agricultural executive, in the race to succeed term-limited Republican Gov. Pete Ricketts. The race also includes multimillionaire hog farmer Jim Pillen, who is backed by Ricketts, and state Sen. Brett Lindstrom.
West Virginia also holds primaries next Tuesday. Trump has endorsed GOP Rep. Alex Mooney over Rep. David McKinley.
