It looks like the MAGA agenda might be alive and well.
In one of the first primary elections since Donald Trump's 2020 defeat, Trump's endorsement looks like it still means a lot.
JD Vance along with many other "MAGA" candidates who received the Trump endorsement won their elections last night in Ohio and Indiana.
From the Daily Caller:
Two candidates endorsed by former President Donald Trump won open Republican primary races for the House of Representatives in Ohio on Tuesday, capping a triumphant night for the former president and his camp.
Max Miller won the Republican primary in Ohio's Seventh District, and Madison Gesiotto Gilbert will be the GOP nominee in the state's Thirteenth District. Miller will likely have an easy path to Congress, as his district leans right by 14 points, according to FiveThirtyEight. Gesiotto Gilbert's district is a toss-up, leaning Republican by only two points.
These are two house races which are no doubt important, but the big MAGA win last night was from JD Vance.
A first-time candidate, Vance received just over 30% of the primary vote on Tuesday. Former state Treasurer Josh Mandel came in second, and state Sen. Matt Dolan finished third. A Trafalgar Group poll conducted the weekend before the election found Vance leading the field with 26%, following by Dolan with 22% and Mandel in third with 21%....
Vance initially struggled to break through in the crowded field, with early polling finding him with low name recognition and a perception among voters that he was a moderate candidate opposed to former President Donald Trump. However, Vance's polling rose in recent weeks, buoyed by endorsements from influential Republicans including Trump and Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley.
Trump is no doubt still the leader of the Republican party.
With his trademark humility, Trump took credit for all the victories:
"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.
"I think we're going to have a tremendous season, I think we're going to win a lot of races with great candidates who are going to go on to big numbers in the fall."
22 and 0.
That is hard to beat.
Except Trump actually did beat that when you take into account the candidates he's back in every race:
Meanwhile, Democratic turnout was WAY down, while Republican turnout was WAY up:
November is gonna be fun!
