Trump got involved in a state Senate race — and he might lose

“Phil Berger has my Complete and Total Endorsement for Re-Election,” Trump wrote on social media,
making no mention of redistricting in a long list of Berger’s accomplishments.

He urged Berger’s opponent
— a staunch ally who chaired Trump’s 2020 campaign in North Carolina
— to drop out.

The race shows how the power of Trump’s endorsement can advance his agenda.

But it could also end up demonstrating Trump’s limits as Republicans are bracing for electoral losses.

With days to go until the 👉March 3 primary,
one of the most powerful Republicans in North Carolina is locked in a tough fight for reelection, despite Trump’s help.

Challenger Sam #Page, the longtime Republican sheriff of Rockingham County, could end up unseating #Berger, according to state GOP operatives
— an outcome that would upend North Carolina politics.

Berger, who has led his chamber since 2011,
has more resources behind him,
but his team has privately indicated they are worried the Senate leader could lose his race next week, people familiar with their outlook said.

The race for Senate district 26 has become the most interesting primary on the North Carolina ballot next week
— a test of Berger’s clout in the Republican Party he helped lead from minority to supermajority in the state Senate
and whether Trump’s endorsement can shore up an establishment figure facing a serious challenge.

Why Trump got involved in a state senate race — and why he might lose

Phil Berger got an unusual endorsement from President Donald Trump after helping him redraw the House map. It might not be enough to keep his seat.

@rakontisto I concur. Icing is its own confection to be enjoyed separate from cake.
Or cookies. Yes, I am a #Berger cookie heretic.
