Trump-Backed Candidate Takes Republican Nomination in Battle for Vacant House Seat

President Donald Trump's endorsed candidate won a crowded GOP special election primary for a vacant House seat, demonstrating his continued influence in Republican nomination races. The contest was highly competitive, with multiple candidates vying for the party's nod to fill the vacancy. The winner, backed by Trump last week, will now face off against Democratic opponents in November's general election. Trump's endorsement is seen as a significant boost for the candidate's campaign.
