Politics - The Trump Thread - View Post

Two major Trump-endorsed candidates have crashed and burned over the past two weeks' worth of primaries.

Andy Ogles the incumbent Representative for Tennessee's 5th congressional district, got primaried last week by Charlie Hatcher, a former Commissioner of Agriculture who is considered much more moderate. Trump's endorsement combined with election denialism and naked racism apparently weren't enough to get Ogles re-elected for a third term.

Mike Lindell, former MyPillow CEO, staunch Trump ally, and professional election denialist, was primaried in the Minnesota gubernatorial primaries. Lisa Demuth, the Speaker of the Minnesota House of Representatives, will now face Senator Amy Klobuchar in November for governorship of Minnesota, as Tim Walz declined to run.
