Trump has issued hundreds of endorsements across the 2026 midterm cycle, concentrating on Republican primaries for Senate, House, and gubernatorial contests with a reported 96% primary success rate to date. Activity has continued into October, including a recent endorsement for Bernadette Wilson in Alaska’s open governor’s race and support for candidates such as Derek Merrin in Ohio’s 9th Congressional District and Chuck Gray in Wyoming’s at-large House seat. The president has favored incumbents in safer districts while entering some competitive primaries later or avoiding others, such as certain governor races with divided Republican fields. With the November general elections weeks away, trader attention centers on whether these endorsements translate into general-election wins and on any late-cycle statements that could influence remaining open races or special elections.
