Trump Celebrates 12-0 Sweep in Tuesday Primary Endorsements

Without a loss Tuesday night, former President Donald Trump hailed a perfect 12-0 record in a Truth Social post Wednesday.

Trump’s primary endorsement record is now, according to an unofficial Newsmax tally, 143-10, a 93.5% winning percentage (Trump officials count candidates advancing to a runoff as victories).

Among the most noteworthy victories included a pair of Trump-endorsed candidates winning in the reliably blue state of Illinois, where Trump held a Save America rally Saturday, stumping for Rep. Mary Miller, R-Ill., and gubernatorial candidate Darren Bailey.

Trump called Miller “a star” Wednesday.

“Well, Mary Miller did it, she won BIG in Illinois tonight,” Trump wrote after she was projected the winner by Decision Desk HQ at 10:13 p.m. ET, Newsmax’s election results partner. “She campaigned hard and smart. Congratulations to a very fine woman!”

Trump was also effusive in praise for Bailey, vowing a victory to defeat Democrat Gov. J.B. Pritzker  — “one of the worst and most obnoxious governors (Mr. Lockdown!) in the USA” — in this November’s general election.

“The last thing that J.B. Pritzker, considered by many to be the worst governor in the country, wanted, was to run against Darren Bailey, a very popular state senator with a big, beautiful and powerful base, who won the Republican nomination in a landslide last night,” Trump wrote Wednesday.
