TFG is on an endorsement spree and has now put his MAGA stamp on more than 100 political candidates

Donald Trump made and then surpassed his 100th public endorsement on Wednesday in political races around the country since leaving the White House, according to an Insider analysis of his post-presidential activity.

It's an important milestone that shows Trump's enduring staying power inside the Republican party. His list of MAGA-backed candidates also demonstrates a penchant for picking both incumbent and rookie political candidates with one thing in common: absolute loyalty to him.

Trump has also had a hand in races at seemingly every level of government, Insider's review shows. To date, he has lent his support to candidates running in 43 races for the US House of Representatives, 13 US Senate elections, 14 gubernatorial campaigns, 11 state house contests, seven state senate races, and myriad others down to the county judge level.

He has similarly picked people all over the place geographically, inserting himself into upcoming elections in at least 30 different states — including places where he tried and failed to overturn the 2020 election results like Arizona, Georgia, and Michigan.

I’m sure there’ll always be some seeking it, but less and less as time goes on.
