INTERVIEW – TOM BEVAN – Co-Founder & President of RealClearPolitics.com — discussed Trump’s rally in West VA and Tuesday’s primary (Wyoming/Alaska).
- TRUMP RALLY: President Trump held a rally in West Virginia. President Donald Trump held a get out the vote campaign rally for state Attorney General Patrick Morrissey, the Republican running to unseat Sen. Joe Manchin (D–W.Va.).. It will be his third rally in the state since the start of his presidential campaign in 2015.
- WYOMING PRIMARY: The primary was crowded, with at least four credible candidates to replace outgoing Gov. Matt Mead, who enjoys strong popularity in the state. Megadonor FOSTER FRIESS was running against State Treasurer Mark Gordon, business executive Sam Galeotos, and attorney Harriet Hageman, the only woman on the GOP ballot. Those mega-donor dollars weren’t enough for FOSTER FRIESS. Neither was a last-minute endorsement from President Donald Trump. Gordon narrowly prevailed in Tuesday’s primary.
- ALASKA PRIMARY: Alaska State Sen. Mike Dunleavy won Tuesday’s Republican primary easily, as had been expected, and now his opponents have two weeks to figure out whether to team up and try to stop him or go their own way. The Alaska state senator received the support of former Gov. Sean Parnell — the outcome wasn’t really in doubt.
