Trump endorsed Katie Britt beats Mo Brooks in the Alabama GOP Senate primary.
Trump endorsed Jones loses to Collins in Georgia’s 10th congressional race.
This is not exactly a loss, because Trump only endorsed Jones for this race to get him to drop out of the Georgia governor’s race, which Trump endorsed Perdue also lost to Kemp, the actual loss in this entire episode.
Jones is an opportunist popular among some of the MAGA crowd, and used that popularity in the Georgia governor’s race to play hard against Trump, hence the endorsement to make him go away.
May this be the last we hear from Jones.

When Joe Biden became president, I moved a large bond position (BLV) to consumer staples (VDC) on the expectation that this clown president will let inflation run hot, which sure enough he did.
This move allowed me to outperform the general market on the downside despite the bloodbath in cryptocurrency, which doesn’t concern me in any event.
Thanks for being predictable, Joe.
