Trump is celebrating the wins of the GOP candidates that he endorsed. He also says that anyone that is suggesting that he is angry is reporting fake news. He endorsed 235 GOP candidates and 216 of them won their races. He says he is proud of them and he still plans on making a “major” announcement next week.
“There is a fake news narrative that I was furious — it is just the opposite,” Trump told Fox News Digital, responding to reports that suggested he was less than pleased with the election results for his endorsed candidates. “The people I endorsed did very well. I was batting 98.6% in the primaries, and 216 to 19 in the general election — that is amazing.”
He added: “All these guys that are winning are my people.”
Trump touted the wins of Sen. Chuck Grassley in Iowa, Sen. Marco Rubio in Florida, Eric Schmitt in Missouri, JD Vance in Ohio, Ted Budd in North Carolina, Ron Johnson in Wisconsin and others.
“I really think we had great candidates that performed very well,” Trump said. “Marco performed very well — I held a rally for him on Sunday.”
“JD Vance performed very well,” Trump said. “Johnson won.”
Trump is proud of all the candidates, even the ones that didn’t win. He spoke specifically about the race between Fetterman and Oz.
“Oz worked very hard, but there were forces against him,” Trump said. “Oz is a great guy. He had a lot of immovable forces against him.”
Trump also backed candidates Doug Mastriano and Tudor Dixon who both lost. He says Herschel Walker, who is in a runoff, is “a great guy.” He says he “will always help Herschel.” Trump says candidates will always “perform better when I’m on the ticket.”
He isn’t wrong! He should be very happy with 216 wins out of 235.
