: Trump’s former press secretary is the GOP’s gubernatorial nominee in Arkansas.: Trump’s scandal-plagued former interior secretary won a Republican congressional primary in Montana.
If some of these candidates prevail in their U.S. House bids, they’ll work alongside Republican Rep. Ronny Jackson of Texas — Trump’s former White House physician. To be sure, this list could be longer. Some other former members of the Trump administration ran this year — see Oklahoma’s Scott Pruitt and Alabama’s Lindy Blanchard, for example — but fell short in their primary campaigns.
The larger point, of course, remains the same: Common sense suggests that being associated with a failed former president — twice impeached and facing multiple criminal investigations — would be a political hindrance. In 2022, Republican primary voters see it as a benefit. As a matter of political history, this is an oddity: In the 1934 midterms, Herbert Hoover’s former White House aides didn’t launch bids for elected office.
