Can\u2019t wait!\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>He followed up with a second post about 90 minutes later, attaching a photo of Jackson and his family. \u201cRick Jackson ran a great TRUMP Campaign. Very smart!\u201d Trump wrote. \u201cWas with me on Saturday Night making a pitch. Amazing!!! He won against a great guy, Burt Jones, who has a fantastic future!!!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Social media users could be forgiven for thinking the president had actually endorsed Jackson, a billionaire healthcare executive, rather than Lt. Gov Burt Jones in Tuesday\u2019s race to become the Republican candidate for November\u2019s gubernatorial election in Georgia. But Trump did endorse Jones\u2014emphatically. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of confusion. Everyone\u2019s saying I endorsed them. I didn\u2019t; I endorsed a man named Burt Jones, your lieutenant governor,\u201d the president told a tele-rally last month. He further called Jones \u201can incredible guy who has my complete and total endorsement in the race.\u201d Jones still lost, taking 47 percent of the vote to Jackson\u2019s 53 percent.<\/p>\n<p>Also up for debate is how far Jackson really won off the back of a \u201cTRUMP campaign.\u201d The billionaire spent the primary under fire from Georgia\u2019s most conservative Republicans for a donation history that included such notable Trump enemies as Mitt Romney, Jeb Bush, Nikki Haley, and Liz Cheney. <\/p>\n<p>He tried to paper over the ledger with a $1 million donation to a pro-Trump super PAC\u2014cutting that check only once the 2024 election was already done\u2014but conceded at a debate, \u201cI was late to the Trump train.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The billionaire might have responded to attacks on his loyalty by promising voters he\u2019d be \u201cTrump\u2019s favorite governor.\u201d But that didn\u2019t stop Trump\u2019s actual pick, Jones, and his campaign from spending the race branding Jackson and the rest of the field \u201cNever-Trump RINOs pretending to be something they\u2019re not.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=1619\">Newsom Mocks Vance\u2019s Bizarre Audition for Trump\u2019s Favorite Network<\/a><\/p>\n<p>GOP strategists have since told Politico that Jackson\u2019s victory owed no small debt to the estimated $100 million of personal cash he poured into his bid, which \u201csucked up all the political oxygen\u201d and made it all but impossible for other candidates, Jones included, to break through.<\/p>\n<p>Endorsements are a touchy subject for Trump. The president is fond of trumpeting his backing as a kind of Midas touch for GOP hopefuls and a kiss of death for MAGA\u2019s nemeses. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cEverybody I endorse wins. I mean, everybody,\u201d he told The New York Post\u2019s <i>Pod Force One<\/i> podcast at the White House earlier this month. \u201cYou saw that, right? Last week? Every single person I endorse wins.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But Trump\u2019s endorsements have arguably lost some of their magic ahead of what promises to be a bruising battle for Republicans to retain control of both the House and the Senate in November\u2019s midterm elections. The president\u2019s approval ratings have plummeted to 38 percent, a second-term low, as Democrats ratchet up an almost 7-point lead on the generic congressional ballot. <\/p>\n<p>The latest rebuttal came in Iowa, where Trump\u2019s choice for governor, three-term Rep. Randy Feenstra, conceded on June 2 to newcomer Zach Lahn\u2014a farmer with no political background. It was the most prominent primary defeat for a Trump pick in years. <\/p>\n<p>The president\u2019s response to the Iowa drubbing ran along much the same lines as his spin on the Georgia race, making out that Lahn was the real MAGA candidate all along and telling reporters that \u201cthe man running against [Feenstra] was all Trump.\u201d He later added that he had not been fed \u201cproper information\u201d and \u201cprobably would have endorsed the other person,\u201d if he had known more. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=1617\">Dems Crow as \u2018Next Obama\u2019 Gets Scandal-Plagued MAGA Opponent<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>The Daily Beast has contacted the White House for comment on this story. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Donald Trump is picking up the pieces after a humiliating electoral defeat in Georgia by ever-so-subtly pretending he didn\u2019t throw his full weight behind the losing side.
