71 Percent of Trump-Endorsed Candidates Lost Their Elections

While President Trump is claiming victory after Tuesday’s midterm elections, the vast majority of candidates he endorsed lost to their Democratic opponents.

Democrats will now have the majority in the House of Representatives on Tuesday, after Democrats flipped 29 seats previously held by Republicans. Democrats also flipped seven gubernatorial races in states previously controlled by Republican governors, including in states Trump won just two years ago, like Kansas, Michigan, and Wisconsin.

To be fair, Trump-backed candidates like Brian Kemp and Ron DeSantis won close races in Georgia and Florida, respectively (Kemp’s opponent, Stacey Abrams, has not yet conceded), and Republicans strengthened their control over the U.S. Senate by defeating pro-Trump Democrats in red states (like Joe Donnelly in Indiana and Heidi Heitkamp in North Dakota). However, Democrats flipped a Republican senate seat in Nevada, and could possibly flip a Republican senate seat in Arizona, which is still too close to call as of this writing.

Twitter user Ally Maynard painstakingly compiled a list of 55 House, Senate, and gubernatorial candidates President Trump either held rallies for or endorsed on Twitter, and found that 39 of them lost, meaning 70.9 percent of candidates President Trump endorsed were defeated.

One of the more high-profile losses included Republican Patrick Morissey, who was running for U.S. Senate in West Virginia, which Trump handily won in 2016 with more than two-thirds of the vote. Another surprising loss for a Trump-backed candidate was Kris Kobach, who was running as the Republican gubernatorial candidate in Kansas. Even though Trump won Kansas by 21 points in 2016, Kobach still lost by a comfortable margin to state senator Laura Kelly.

Additionally, Republican Karen Handel lost Georgia’s 6th Congressional District on Tuesday night, which she originally won in 2017 after former Congressman Tom Price took a job in the Trump administration (which he eventually resigned from after an embarrassing corruption scandal). That district is a significant blow to Trump and the GOP, as it has been represented by Republicans dating back to 1979.
