You can’t win ’em all…but Trump sure came close.

Trump’s name may not be on any ballots this year but that doesn’t mean that he isn’t fighting his hardest to win. The former president-turned Republican Party kingmaker notched a disappointing defeat in Nebraska’s Tuesday gubernatorial primary. New reports indicate that Trump-endorsed candidate Charles Herbster came up short, making him the first 2022 Trump-backed candidate to lose his primary showdown.

Fox News reports:

The Associated Press has projected that multimillionaire hog farmer and University of Nebraska Regent Jim Pillen, has won GOP nomination. Pillen enjoyed the backing of term-limited Republican Gov. Pete Ricketts, whom he hopes to succeed in November’s general election.

According to the latest vote count, Herbster, a multimillionaire agricultural executive and state Sen. Brett Lindstrom, who enjoyed the support of moderate Republicans and cross-over Democrats, were battling for second place.

Earlier Tuesday evening, Trump scored a victory when the AP projected Rep. Alex Mooney the winner over Rep. David McKinley in the GOP primary in West Virginia’s 2nd Congressional District.

West Virginia lost a congressional seat during the once-in-a-decade congressional reapportionment, and Mooney and McKinley were drawn into the state’s newly refigured 2nd District. Trump had backed Mooney, while McKinley enjoyed the support of two-term GOP Gov. Jim Justice and of longtime Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin, who crossed party lines to star in a McKinley ad.

The winner of the GOP primary will be considered the clear favorite in red Nebraska in November’s general election against state Sen. Carol Blood who is highly likely to win the Democrat’s nomination.
