Trump-backed nominees sweep primary contests, tightening party grip under president's leadership

President Donald Trump's endorsed nominees overwhelmingly won Republican primary contests on Tuesday, further solidifying the party under the president's leadership as he seeks re-election in 2024. The strong showing from Trump-backed candidates suggests a tight grip on the party, with many of his preferred choices emerging victorious or advancing to subsequent rounds of voting. This development marks another step in what some see as the consolidation of power within the Republican Party during the Trump presidency.
