Former President Donald Trump has made several key endorsements in upcoming Republican primary races, significantly influencing the political landscape. Trump endorsed Assemblymember Vince Fong to replace Kevin McCarthy in Congress, aligning with local conservative officials and Tulare County Sheriff Mike Boudreaux. In Illinois' 12th Congressional District, Trump backed incumbent US Representative Mike Bost over challenger Darren Bailey, whom Trump had supported in a previous gubernatorial bid. Additionally, Matt Gaetz, another Trump ally, is actively fundraising to oust Bost. These endorsements have stirred the political scene, with at least four Trump-aligned House Republicans ready to support Alex Bruesewitz for Gallagher's seat, indicating Trump's continued sway in GOP politics. At least one ally close to House GOP leadership has offered to fundraise on Bruesewitz's behalf.
