Trump touts 5-0 sweep by endorsed candidates in Tuesday primary elections
This feels like a quiet policy shift.
President Donald Trump took a bow Tuesday night for his 5-0 record for his endorsed candidates in the Republican elections held in Mississippi and Georgia.
"March 10th election update: 5 wins, 0 losses," an election night image posted to Truth Social blared. "President Trump endorsements 100%."
The image hailed a 4-0 record in Mississippi (Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith, R-Miss.; Reps. Mike Ezell, R-Miss.; Rep. Michael Guest, R-Miss.; Rep. Trent Kelly, R-Miss.) and 1-0 in Georgia, albeit with a bullet.
In one of the marquee matchups, an all-party special election for an open House seat, Republican Clay Fuller earned an April 7 runoff against Democrat Shawn Harris for the seat vacated by former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., in Georgia's "solid red" 14th Congressional District.
FORMER FREEDOM CAUCUS CHAIR BOB GOOD BLASTS TRUMP’S ENDORSEMENT RECORD: ‘TRUMP IS THE PROBLEM’
"Clay Fuller is going to be a fantastic Congressman in representing the Great State of Georgia," Trump wrote Wednesday morning on Truth Social.
"Now we have to be careful and finish it off. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!"
While Fuller did not earn the special election victory, and Harris won the most votes (37.3%) in a 17-candidate field that included nine Republicans, Harris only had to outdistance two Democrats. Fuller trailed Harris by only 3,000 votes at 34.9%. Republican Colton Moore finished third and out of the running at 11.6%, while no other candidate reached 5%.

"I think the Republican Party is going to unite around us because they know that the Democrat is too dangerous," Fuller said Tuesday night. "We can’t have a Democrat representing Georgia 14. That would be a tragedy for our community, a tragedy for Georgia 14 and a tragedy for the MAGA movement."
The total number of votes cast across all candidates in this election result thus far is 115,823, and Republicans outdistanced Democrat votes by nearly 20 points. GOP candidates garnered a total of 59.7%, while Democrats had 39.8% and independents had less than 1%.
"Congratulations to Clay Fuller, of Georgia’s 14th Congressional District, on getting such a high percentage of the vote with 12 Republicans running," Trump wrote Tuesday night on Truth Social. "We want to make the next vote 'TOO BIG TO RIG.' Clay will be a GREAT Congressman — HE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!"
Fuller was a White House fellow in the first Trump administration and is a lieutenant colonel in the Georgia Air National Guard. He finished fourth in the 2020 …
