President Donald Trump on Sunday proclaimed that his endorsement power is “stronger than ever,” ahead of several pivotal primary runoff elections set for this week that he has become involved in. 

Trump highlighted data he said showed candidates he has endorsed during the 2026 political cycle have had a 97% success rate so far, which is comparable to Ballotpedia’s 96% rating. The president’s comments come shortly before likely close elections in the Oklahoma governor’s race and the South Carolina U.S. Senate contest put his endorsement power to the test once again on Tuesday.
