REVEALED: Trump's MAGA Army that could transform Congress in his image - more than 200 candidates he endorsed will now fight tooth and nail for him in November midterms… but establishment GOP is terrified they will scare off floating voters

An army of more than 200 MAGA candidates ready to fight for Donald Trump's agenda is marching into November's midterm races, after a heated primary season that proved the ex-president remains, for the most part, the de facto leader of the Republican Party.
Trump has played a heavy hand in the 2022 election cycle thus far, endorsing candidates both for Congress and state executive roles in races that normally do not get the national attention he's brought to them.
He's also jetted around the country to campaign with their voters in his signature 'Make America Great Again' rallies, including a forthcoming appearance in Ohio on Saturday for Senate candidate JD Vance.
It's appeared to have worked for him - with a success rate of more than 90 percent.
Overall in the Senate races, Trump's favored candidates won 100 percent of the time out of primaries that have already occurred. He's helped 18 candidates advance to November, with two races that are still pending.
But some of the candidates he's backed - like Herschel Walker in Georgia and Mehmet Oz in Pennsylvania - appear to have establishment Republicans worried about their electability in a general race where independent voters play a key role.
Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell expressed reservations about how certain candidates would fare in the upcoming state-wide races during an event at the Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce last month.
'I think there's probably a greater likelihood the House flips than the Senate,' McConnell said. 'Senate races are just different, they're statewide. Candidate quality has a lot to do with the outcome.'
On the House side, Trump has faced far less opposition to his candidate choices.
The former president's candidates have won all but five of their races in regular primaries, out of 158 total endorsements. That includes three races that are still pending.
