Some are used to settle accounts, others to reward loyalty brands. For months, Donald Trump has been distilting support press releases for republican candidates engaged in primaries, before the mid-term elections in November. Sometimes it moves even on site or helps them lift funds. A new series of polls, organized on Tuesday May 24, drew a contrasting table of its influence. There is no magic effect in its bursts of gusts, which sometimes surprisingly concern local polls or technical positions, but no more massive rejection of these anointers.
Georgia has focused media attention, because the former president underwent a humiliation. Donald Trump took the risk of a form of referendum on his obsession: that of electoral fraud that would have allowed Joe Biden’s victory. Repeated allegations in a loop by his candidate for the post of governor, former senator David Lost, who experienced a rout against the outgoing, Brian Kemp, in the lead with almost 50 points ahead. The latter, in his victory speech, did not even mention Donald Trump. While waiting to confront the Democratic candidate, Stacey Adams, Brian Kemp has foiled the plans of the ex-president, who wanted to pay her validation of the presidential results in Georgia, where Joe Biden won a short margin.
The evening is all the more bitter for Donald Trump in this state since his other target, the outgoing Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger, beat his candidate, Jody Hice. He too had refused to compete for voices at the time of the presidential election. Finally, the candidate supported by Donald Trump as Attorney General was largely beaten. On the other hand, his foal for the position of senator, the former footballer Herschel Walker, with a very controversial profile, won against other republican contenders.

In the support press releases released in recent months by Donald Trump, there is never any question of the Republican Party – except to castigate the Rino (Republicans in Name Only) designating the too soft and conciliatory elected officials. For Trump, only the Maga base matters (“Make America Great Again”), the themes of immigration and crime, and of course imaginary fraud. This multiple facets commitment behind nearly 200 candidates serves as a long -term political test, allowing one of the puzzles of this American era: Donald Trump’s grip on the Republican Party. A new generation of conservative candidates has emerged, marrying the conspiracy theses without any reserve. Does Trumpism still need Trump to win? The very fact that the debate exists introduces a form of uncertainty on a future candidacy of Donald Trump in 2024.
