What Went Down During The May 17 Primary Elections
McGeachin’s loss isn’t surprising — polls have consistently shown her trailing Little. Considering how pro-Trump Little is, it’s curious why Trump didn’t pull his endorsement, like he did for Mo Brooks in Alabama’s Senate primary. But with over two dozen endorsements for tonight, is it possible Trump just forgot?
Our colleagues at ABC News are now projecting that Little has won renomination for governor of Idaho, defeating his own lieutenant governor, McGeachin. McGeachin is the second Trump-endorsed candidate to lose tonight, and the third so far this year.
