A trio of Donald Trump-backing gubernatorial candidates are flopping in their campaigns after winning their Republican primaries.
The GOP candidates in three Midwestern battleground states -- Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin -- are failing to attract voters or donations and running flimsy campaign operations to the dismay of fellow Republicans in the weeks ahead of November's election, and the blame is falling on the former president, reported The Daily Beast.
This is part of the Trump legacy, said longtime GOP strategist Doug Heye. Candidates who otherwise would be considered fringe candidates can win nominations and hold Republicans back, because theyre unelectable in their state.
Both Michigan and Wisconsin had crowded and competitive GOP primaries, but voters backed former actress and MAGA media personality Tudor Dixon in Michigan and businessman Tim Michels in Wisconsin after Trump endorsed them, but neither has raised or spent much money on their general election campaigns.

Tudor (who names their kid that?) can take her orange one's endorsement and go home. She got millions from the DeVos family and still can't win.

A looney Trump supporter who got "famous" filing lawsuits over Covid protective restrictions.
I expect an overwhelming victory for Pritzker, who is doing an excellent job for Illinois.
