Now let’s check in on Trump’s chosen candidates. So far, all of them have either won their race or are leading, though a good share — 7 out of 19 — ran unopposed. If this trend continues, all of Trump’s endorsees will win by a large enough margin to avoid a primary runoff, though it’s hard to say whether Trump’s endorsement was decisive, or if they would have gotten such a large share of the vote anyway.
