Donald Trump has proven in the 2022 midterms so far that he has coattails, but the former president faced his first defeat Tuesday evening when his pick in the Nebraska gubernatorial race failed to prevail following several allegations of sexual misconduct.
All eyes turned to the Nebraska and West Virginia primaries Tuesday as voters headed to the polls to select who they want to run in November against the opposing party.
In the two states, Trump threw his endorsement behind Nebraska gubernatorial candidate Charles Herbster and Republicans Carol Miller and Alex Mooney in their respective House races in West Virginia.
With nearly all polling places reporting in West Virginia Tuesday evening, Mooney prevailed with 54 percent of the vote for the 2nd congressional district in the deep red state.
