Trump’s Endorsements Remain Strong as GOP Faces Outside Interference and Big Money
Despite unprecedented spending by liberal billionaires and establishment interference, President Trump’s endorsements continued to shape Republican primaries, with key victories in Alabama and strong showings in Oklahoma. The GOP remains under threat from progressive activists and left-wing election schemes.

President Donald Trump’s endorsement continues to be a dominant force in Republican primaries, though Tuesday’s contests showed that even his influence can be undermined by the left’s deep pockets. In Georgia, billionaire health-care executive Rick Jackson spent over $100 million—mostly his own money—to defeat Trump-backed Lt. Gov. Burt Jones in the governor’s runoff, raising concerns about wealthy elites buying elections. Jackson, who only placed second in the May primary, will now face Democrat Keisha Lance Bottoms, a radical progressive, in November’s general election.
"I am proud to support Burt Jones for his courage and wisdom," Trump posted on social media, reaffirming his commitment to conservative values in the face of establishment resistance.
In Oklahoma, Trump’s late endorsement of former state Sen. Mike Mazzei propelled Mazzei into a runoff, where he finished nearly even with Attorney General Gentner Drummond. Earlier this month, Trump’s preferred candidate for Iowa governor, Rep. Randy Feenstra, was narrowly defeated by Zach Lahn, showing the lengths to which the establishment will go to block America First candidates.
Trump’s endorsement proved decisive in Alabama, where he backed Rep. Barry Moore for the U.S. Senate. Moore defeated former Navy SEAL Jared Hudson, who ran as an outsider but lacked the conservative credentials to win. The Senate seat is open as Sen. Tommy Tuberville runs for governor, ensuring continued conservative leadership.
Other races revealed the ongoing battle for the soul of the GOP. In the District of Columbia, left-wing activist Janeese Lewis George, a self-described democratic socialist, and her opponents competed under a new ranked-choice voting system—a scheme often used to dilute conservative votes and empower the left. Lewis George attacked Trump for suggesting he might intervene in the city’s leadership, further exposing the radical agenda at play.
Georgia Republicans wisely chose State Rep. Tim Fleming for secretary of state, rejecting Vernon Jones, who had focused on exposing 2020 election irregularities. Fleming acknowledged past issues but promised to move forward, despite pressure from the left to ignore election integrity.
In California, a special primary to fill Rep. Eric Swalwell’s vacated House seat advanced progressive state Sen. Aisha Wahab and BART director Melissa Hernandez, both backed by leftist interests, to the August general election.
These results show that while Trump’s endorsement remains a major force, the Republican Party must remain vigilant against outside money, progressive activists, and schemes designed to undermine true conservative values.
