President Trump on Wednesday praised Republicans for their performance in Tuesday’s primary elections in three states.
“The Republican Party had a great night. Tremendous voter energy and excitement, and all candidates are those who have a great chance of winning in November. The Economy is sooo strong, and with Nancy Pelosi wanting to end the big Tax Cuts and Raise Taxes, why wouldn’t we win?”

The first round of primaries for the 2018 midterm elects kicked off Tuesday night in Ohio, West Virginia, and Indiana. One of the biggest victories of the night was in West Virginia, where controversial GOP candidate Don Blankenship didn’t win, which allowed Republicans to feel better about winning in the general election.
Trump specifically congratulated Ohio GOP gubernatorial primary winner Mike Dewine, saying he would be a great opponent for his “socialist” counterpart Richard Cordray.
“Congratulations to Mike Dewine on his big win in the Great State of Ohio. He will be a great Governor with a heavy focus on HealthCare and Jobs. His Socialist opponent in November should not do well, a big failure in last job!”
