Former president Donald Trump Defend his influence on Texas voters, saying that the only reason his candidate did not win in the recent special election is because Democratic Party Voted against.
Trump still receives strong support from supporters, and polls show that if he decides to challenge the president, he will be the front runner for the Republican presidential nomination in 2024 Joe Biden.
However, Susan Wright, who Trump chose to fill a seat in the House of Representatives, lost to another candidate in the election last week, which raises questions about whether the support of the former president is still influential in the state campaign.
On Wednesday, Trump denied that Wright’s ability to help candidates win elections is worth reading. He boasted that Wright, whom he supported in April, won the primary election, and that state Senator Jake Ellzey won the election only because the Democrats “obviously voted against me.”

Given that there are two Republicans Nick Maddux, vice president of Axiom Strategies, advises against using it as a true benchmark for measuring the influence of former presidents. Maddux pointed out that the Democrats are unlikely to vote for Wright because she has the support of Trump, which may change the election results.
“We may eventually learn that Democrat voters and anti-Trump Republicans vote together enough to defeat Susan. This will be the result of the election composition in the region, not the president’s influence in the Republican Party,” Ma Dukes said. “Once the voter data is finalized, this will become clearer in a few weeks.”
Because Trump believed that the Democrats would choose a candidate he did not support, he said, “I won because we ended up with a great Republican candidate.”
Trump said in a statement on Wednesday: “This is a major victory for Trump, a great victory for the Republican Party, and a great victory for US Patriot Congressman Jack Elzer.”
A week after the Texas general election, when Mike Carey, his candidate for the seat of Congress in Ohio, won the Republican primary, Trump’s real victory is worth celebrating. The famous Republicans supported different candidates among the crowded 11 candidates, but Carey topped the list with 37% of the votes. Trump called this an “overwhelming victory” for Carey, and the former president said Carey “will never disappoint Ohio.”
Since the Ohio election only involves Republican voters, this may be a better indicator of how Trump’s support will work in the open primaries. The former president swears to major Republicans who do not support his American priority attitude, and has already set his sights on some Republican members. Congress.
However, it remains to be seen to what extent Trump’s support will help the main challenger, because historically it has been easier to win re-election than to overthrow the incumbent.
