Trump-backed candidate loses in Nebraska in possible preview of setbacks to come

Donald Trump’s pick for governor of Nebraska was defeated in Tuesday’s Republican primary there, but in a showdown between two congressional candidates in West Virginia, the former president’s choice won handily.

Trump remains the GOP’s dominant figure, although his decision to endorse a host of candidates in competitive primaries this year is putting his influence among rank-and-file Republican voters to the test. The success or failure of Trump-backed candidates is being watched closely by GOP donors and other Republican politicians, including those considering their own campaigns for the presidency in 2024.

In Nebraska, Trump took his first major loss of the 2022 primary season. And there is at least one more defeat likely to come later this month.

Businessman Charles Herbster was Trump’s chosen candidate for governor in Nebraska. But on Tuesday he lost to University of Nebraska Board of Regents member Jim Pillen, who received 34% of the vote to Herbster’s 30%, with 95% of the vote counted. A third candidate, moderate state Sen. Brett Lindstrom, was in third place with just under 26% of the vote.
