BOISE, Idaho — Nearly all of former President Donald Trump’s endorsements for Tuesday’s midterm primary elections emerged victorious, except for two candidates.
One of those was North Carolina’s divisive incumbent U.S. Rep. Madison Cawthorn. The other was Idaho Lt. Gov. Janice McGeachin.
McGeachin became just the third Trump-endorsed candidate to lose an election in 2022. The former president, who has favored candidates backing his “big lie” that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from him, has endorsed more than 70 winning candidates so far — many of them sitting U.S. senators and representatives who were not in competitive races, such as Idaho Sen. Mike Crapo.
