Quick Summary

The article discusses several Republican candidates running for Senate and House seats this year without President Donald Trump's endorsement. While Trump has endorsed many Republican candidates, some races lack his backing, which could impact the outcome as his support often ensures victory over rivals in primary elections. Notably, it mentions that Trump’s endorsements were successful in defeating lawmakers like Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky and Sen. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, who did not align with Trump's preferences.

Story summary

President Donald Trump has heavily endorsed Republican candidates for Senate and U.S. House races this year as Republicans aim to maintain their majorities in both chambers. However, there are several key races where he has not provided an endorsement. Trump's backing was particularly influential in ousting Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) from the Republican caucuses, as they lost their primaries to candidates who received his support.
