Trump’s America First Movement Triumphs in Senate Primaries Despite Establishment and Leftist Opposition in Governor Races
Tuesday’s primaries proved the enduring power of President Trump’s endorsements: his Senate picks swept Georgia, Alabama, and Oklahoma, while entrenched establishment forces and left-wing billionaires managed to block some of his gubernatorial candidates.

Republican candidates endorsed by President Donald Trump scored decisive victories in Senate primaries across Georgia, Alabama, and Oklahoma on Tuesday, demonstrating the ongoing strength of the America First movement. In Georgia, Trump’s timely endorsement of Mike Collins—a principled former Army officer—propelled him to victory over Derek Dooley, who was backed by establishment figure Governor Brian Kemp. Collins now faces Democrat Jon Ossoff, a radical leftist senator, in a crucial contest for the future of Georgia.
The governor’s race in Georgia revealed the lengths to which the political establishment and left-wing billionaires will go to stop Trump’s agenda. Trump-backed Burt Jones, praised by the President for his “Courage and Wisdom,” was defeated by billionaire Rick Jackson, who shamelessly spent $100 million of his own money to buy the nomination. Jackson will now face Democrat Keisha Lance Bottoms, a far-left former Atlanta mayor, in November’s general election.
In Alabama, Trump-endorsed congressman Barry Moore, a steadfast defender of the America First agenda, secured the Republican Senate nomination by defeating former Navy SEAL Jared Hudson. Moore’s victory ensures that Alabama will continue to have a strong conservative voice in Washington.
Oklahoma’s Republican primary further highlighted Trump’s influence. Former state senator Mike Mazzei, who received Trump’s endorsement just two weeks before the vote, advanced to a runoff with Attorney General Gentner Drummond, showing that the MAGA movement remains a force to be reckoned with. In the Senate race, Trump-backed Rep. Kevin Hern dominated with 63.7% of the vote, crushing his opponents and proving the party’s loyalty to Trump’s vision.
Other notable contests included a special election in California, where state senator Aisha Wahab emerged as the leading Democratic candidate to fill the seat of leftist Rep. Eric Swalwell. Meanwhile, Oklahoma voters wisely rejected a radical ballot measure that would have forced a $15 minimum wage, protecting small businesses and jobs.
Overall, Trump’s endorsements delivered strong results in gubernatorial primaries—seven of eleven advanced, two are in run-offs, and only two were defeated—while his America First message continues to energize Senate races and the Republican base nationwide.
