Trump for Truth Social fell to Colorado Republican Senate candidate Joe O’Dea and New Hampshire Republican Senate candidate Don Bolduc after their races were called for Democratic incumbents, both considered as the pioneers. “Joe O’Dea lost BIG! MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!” Trump wrote about the Colorado Republican. Unlike most of the other battleground Senate candidates, O’Dea has strongly broken with Trump in the 2020 election, even saying in recent weeks that he would campaign against Trump if he ran for the White House again. Trump has repeatedly hit back at O’Dea as he faces an uphill battle against incumbent Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.), although other Republicans have been bullish on O’Dea’s chances. Many outlets called the fight in favor of Bennet on Tuesday night. In New Hampshire, Bolduc had won his primary against an establishment candidate backed by the state’s incumbent Republican governor, who is also a frequent critic of Trump. Bolduc had supported Trump’s baseless claims of massive voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election, only to reverse his position in the days after his primary victory. But as the general campaign progressed, Bolduc at times continued to cast doubt on the last election during a debate against Sen. Maggie Hassan (DN.H.), who ultimately won on Tuesday.

If he had stayed strong and true, he would have won, easily. Lessons learned!!!” Trump tweeted on Tuesday. The former president officially endorsed Bolduc late last week. Bolduc trailed Hassan in the polls in the early days of the Granite State’s general election phase, but polls have shown the race tightening in recent weeks, giving Republicans hope that Bolduc could pull off an upset.
