There’s no doubt the power of the Trump endorsement is HUGE based on the 23 wins it helped secure. All in all, it was a big day for President Trump.

On Tuesday night, many Trump-endorsed candidates won their primary races (some were running unopposed, marked with a *):

Mike Crapo (ID) – Senate Candidate
Russ Fulcher (ID1*) – House Candidate
Rand Paul (KY) – Senate Candidate
James Comer (KY1*) – House Candidate
Brett Guthrie (KY2) – House Candidate
Thomas Massie (KY4) – House Candidate
Harold Rogers (KY5) – House Candidate
Andy Barr (KY6) – House Candidate
Ted Budd (NC) – Senate Candidate
Gregory Murphy (NC3) – House Candidate
Rep Virginia Foxx (NC5) – House Candidate
David Rouzer (NC7) – House Candidate
Dan Bishop (NC8*) – House Candidate
Richard Hudson (NC9) – House Candidate
Patrick McHenry (NC10) – House Candidate
Bo Hines (NC13) – House Candidate
Doug Mastriano (PA) – Gubernatorial Candidate
Jim Bognet (PA8) – House Candidate
Scott Perry (PA10*) – House Candidate
Lloyd Smucker (PA11*) – House Candidate
John Joyce (PA13*) – House Candidate
Guy Reschenthaler (PA14*) – House Candidate
Mike Kelly (PA16*) – House Candidate

The race for Senate in Pennsylvania is still too close to call, but Trump’s endorsed candidate, Dr. Mehmet Oz, is holding a slight lead.

Probably Trump’s biggest victory of the night was Doug Mastriano’s selection as GOP candidate for governor in Pennsylvania. Mastriano is an outspoken supporter of Trump, and his candidacy could be seen as a referendum of support for the president.

Clearly, even an association with Trump helps as candidates learn not to cross the most powerful figure in the Republican Party. But let’s remember what put Trump on the map, and that’s standing up for MAIN STREET AMERICA. It was that grassroots movement beginning with the TEA PARTY during the financial crisis and bank bailouts that said, “We don’t want any more POLITICIANS.” Trump filled that void.

Action Line: The number one issue for the midterms is INFLATION. To fight it and break it, a leader will need some backbone. In other words, the last thing America needs is a politician. The country needs someone with guts, in the mold of a Paul Volker who shrugged off Congress to slay inflation. Let’s go.
