Trump-backed candidates lost in three states, and Darline Graham fell short of the 50% needed to avoid a runoff.
- On Tuesday, Trump-endorsed candidates Amir Hassan, Andy Ogles, and Mike Lindell lost their primaries, while Darline Graham advanced to an August 25 runoff to replace the late Senator Lindsey Graham on November's ballot.

- These primary results serve as a warning sign for the Republican Party ahead of November midterm elections, reflecting the complex and varied impact of Trump's endorsements in competitive state contests.
