He backed Georgia Lt. Governor Burt Jones early on in his bid to fill the seat being vacated by GOP Governor Brian Kemp at the end of his term. While Jones advanced to the runoff against self-funded billionaire Rick Jackson, he lost in their June faceoff. <\/p>\n<p>The president also endorsed Rep. Randy Feenstra in his bid to become the next governor of Iowa in May in an effort to help him across the finish line, just days before his June 2 primary. <\/p>\n<p>However, Feenstra lost to businessman Zach Lahn just days later. Trump\u2019s excuse was to blame his team and argued he had not had \u201cproper information\u201d when he made the endorsement. He also insisted that Lahn was \u201call Trump\u201d as he looked to self-soothe his ego.<\/p>\n<p>But the president\u2019s political power was tested again just weeks later when he endorsed Republican South Carolina Lt. Governor Pam Evette for governor in her primary. While Evette was able to advance to the runoff, she did not secure the necessary 50 percent to win outright. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=5270\">AOC\u2019s Longtime Romance Ends in Secret Split<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Unwilling to risk another botched endorsement on his record, Trump went on to offer a double endorsement of both Evette and Attorney General Alan Wilson in the runoff. In the end, Wilson beat Trump\u2019s original choice.<\/p>\n<p>The White House did not respond to the Daily Beast\u2019s request for comment. <\/p>\n<p>While the president has been successful with backing a series of House and Senate candidates ahead of the 2026 midterms, on Tuesday he also failed to deliver the necessary support for newly minted Senator Darline Graham with his endorsement to avoid a primary runoff. <\/p>\n<p>Trump signaled he was backing Graham even before she revealed her plan to run for a full six-year term after her brother Sen. Lindsey Graham died suddenly. <\/p>\n<p>Despite the president\u2019s support, she is now headed to a runoff in late August to become the GOP nominee against Rep. Ralph Norman after failing to secure 50 percent in the special election.<\/p>\n<p>It comes after Trump\u2019s preferred House candidates in both Tennessee and Michigan also recently lost primaries. \u201cMAGA warrior\u201d Rep. Andy Ogles lost his primary last week. <\/p>\n<p>Two days earlier, GOP candidate Amir Hassan also lost his bid in Michigan despite appearing with Trump at an event and his primary opponent dropping out before Election Day.<\/p>\n<p>Many GOP candidates continue to appear alongside the president when he does make visits to states, but it remains to be seen how they react to him heading into the general election season with primaries behind them or whether more members will try to put distance between themselves and Trump. <\/p>\n<p>The president\u2019s approval rating this week hit another record low according to a new poll by the . It found just one in three Americans approve of the job he\u2019s doing with less than three months until the midterms. <\/p>\n<p>That 33 percent approval was down three points from the previous week and is the lowest level for the tracker since Trump returned to office for his second term.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=5268\">Trump Is Fading Fast.
