Redistricting guaranteed that some U.S. House incumbents would be ousted.

Trump lifts other candidates

Trump helped lift some U.S. Senate candidates to victory. In Ohio, he backed “Hillbilly Elegy" author JD Vance after a furious push by Vance's opponents to win Trump's favor. The endorsement just three weeks before the election propelled Vance to a win.

Election deniers gain ground

Voters handed primary wins to some candidates who supported Trump's assertions that Biden's election victory was illegitimate. Those false claims have been roundly rejected by elections officials, Trump's own attorney general and the courts, including by judges he appointed.
