Summary
Susan Wright, former President Donald Trump's chosen candidate, lost to another Republican in Tuesday's Texas House election. This time, Trump is getting involved early in an array of primaries, including those for Alabama and North Carolina Senate.“A loss is a loss, and for someone who touts himself as the ultimate winner, putting your thumb on the scale and then losing tarnishes that brand within the party,” said Doug Heye, a former top Republican National Committee official.Trump advisers say they first became alarmed about their prospects in Texas around a week ago, when they quietly commissioned a survey through the former president’s leadership political action committee showing Republican Jake Ellzey with a 15-point lead over Wright. It is then up to the candidates and their allies to get the word out about his support.In Wright’s case, even after a big spending effort to make sure that people knew about Trump’s endorsement, only about two-thirds of voters knew that she had the former president's support by the end of the race, according to a person familiar with the figures.Others say the outcome illustrates why Republican candidates need to do more than vie for Trump’s endorsement.
