Donald Trump-backed candidates struggle in Nebraska, win in West Virginia|Gage Skidmore|CC BY-SA 2.0

Donald Trump-endorsed candidate, Charles Herbster, failed in Nebraska's Republican primary election for governor on Tuesday, losing to Jim Pillen.

However, voters in West Virginia opted for Representative Alex Mooney, former Senator of Maryland and Trump supporter who backed him in false claims about the 2020 presidential election fraud.

The former President has endorsed more than 150 candidates as he tries to shape his Republican Party ahead of a possible presidential run in 2024.
