In three states, the former president has been involved in pushing out Republicans who didn't make the cut for his endorsement.

In Georgia, David Perdue was asked by Trump to run against Brian Kemp in the Republican primary.

Perdue lost his reelection bid to Jon Ossoff in January, but has been popular with the state's conservatives.

Kemp refused to help overturn Biden's electoral victory in Georgia last November, a stance that led to the former president endorsing Jody Hice over the incumbent Secretary of State.

The integrity of the state's vote was attested to by Raffensperger, who resisted Trump's attempts to get additional votes to invalidate Biden's win.

The former president wants to create a "Trump ticket" with other endorsed candidates for statewide races, according to a state Republican operative.

The former president wanted to hold a July 4 rally in Mobile to engage with his supporters who continue to back his "Make Again Great Again" political agenda. The event was scrapped because local officials were concerned that the gathering would be too political since it would be held at the Battleship Memorial Park.

In August, Trump held a rally in Alabama, but he is still upset with the governor over the decision, and he is considering endorsing a candidate for governor.

The congressman who received the former president's endorsement earlier this year would likely benefit from her leaving the Senate race.

Despite Trump's approval, the nomination is not easy for Brooks.

The former president has complained to his allies about the lack of enthusiasm for the campaign, according to people with knowledge of the situation.
