Donald J. Trump’s endorsed candidates won in several key state primaries, with one key Arizona contest still undecided by mainstream media.

The four states which had a Tuesday primary with Trump-backed candidates winning several key GOP contests were Arizona, Kansas, Michigan, and Missouri. Trump candidates won over Pence candidates in high-profile races, giving the MAGA movement a boost going into November mid-terms.

Politico, sucking on sour grapes, reported, “Trump’s chosen candidate for Arizona secretary of state, Mark Finchem, has maintained a lead. He’s a poster child for election deniers and could conceivably win in November should he clinch the nomination.”

The 2020 election was on the minds of political watchers, still.

In Michigan, Trump-endorsed GOP gubernatorial candidate, a conservative pundit, Tudor Dixon, won in a solid victory, with 40% of the vote.

“I’m going home and I’m pulling out my fishing gear.” Rinke, a businessman, said in conceding the race to Dixon.

In a stunning defeat, Michigan GOP House primary Rep. Peter Meijer, whose first order of business when he got to DC in 2020 was to vote to impeach Trump, lost to Trump-endorsed challenger John Gibbs.

The Associated Press declared Gibbs, the winner with 51.9% of the vote to Meijer’s 48.1%.

Meijer is one of 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump in 2020, with others in his situation having lost primaries or retired instead of running again.

US Rep. Paul Gosar won with 64 percent of the vote. He voted to overturn the 2020 election results.

The primary victory of Kari Lake makes the Arizona governor's race one of the most important in the county. She is pledged to make a Declaration of Invasion, which under the US Constitution empowers the state government to takes action to stop that invasion. This is a great political cause for contributions.

Kari Lake has now been declared the winner in Arizona, and she won every county in the state. Another win for Trump and for the American people.

It was a clear beautiful, royal blue sky day on Wall Street. The S & P futures were up markedly, awaiting a positive open, as I turn to get my first cup of coffee. I return to CNBC to get the morning business news, when I notice that the S & P futures are falling, and they're falling fast.
