Without a referendum on Trumpism like Georgia governor or Ohio Senate on the ballot, today won’t be a very big test of Trump’s endorsement power. He has, however, endorsed 15 candidates running for Senate, House or governor today, and we’ll be tracking how those candidates do. Thirteen of them are incumbents and should be slam-dunk wins for the former president, but there are a couple places where his reputation really is on the line — namely California’s 3rd District, where Trump’s endorsee, Assemblyman Kevin Kiley, is squaring off against Sacramento County Sheriff Scott Jones for a spot on the November ballot.
