ricketts and the ricketts family went up against donald trump and wiped the floor with him.mp. by the way, what kind of message does that send that a guy with a future in republican politics is like, i don't care who trump's for, i'm going all-in, and man, the ricketts went all in and humiliated donald trump in nebraska. >> right. look, you can't say that trump's influence is anything but pretty powerful in the republican ranks. we've seen it in other races. but i don't think it's as powerful as it's depicted in certain media accounts. obviously, he's won in -- he won last night in west virginia. he helped elevate jd vance in the ohio gop primary. it pays to have his endorsement. but it's not insurmountable. in this case, nebraska had a fairly robust republican party apparatus. they've been electing republicans for a long time. and the ricketts family has a ton of money and political pull in the state. if you get behind a candidate and you have a problematic opponent, it can work. he said, you know what? i'm going to stand up for this candidate, not going to bow down to trum

on the other side, you had charles herbster endorsed by donald trump and ricketts asked trump not to weigh in on this race. of course, trump ultimately denying that request when he backed herbster. so, two different results. one establishment candidate winning, one establishment candidate losing, but the caveat there again being that herbster was a flawed candidate. and the thing we need to point out here is this is just the beginning of a large midterm cycle in which trump is going to be tested time and time again. we have big primaries coming up here in georgia, in north carolina, in pennsylvania, just next week, where his lead candidate is actually in a three-way tie. this is just the beginning of what could be a potential series of losses as the republicans try to define their party. >> kristen holmes with the latest for us this morning, thank you. >>> joining us now for more cnn national politics reporter eva mckend and white house correspondent for the new york times. good to have both of you with us this morning. a lot of this is about how republicans define their party moving

then you, of course, have nebraska, where the ricketts just basically brushed trump aside and made surefalls for donald trump. >> last week, we had to give trump credit for what he did in the ohio race. give him credit in the sense that he clearly had an important, if not decisive role, in putting jd vance over the top. now, he's gotten to this run of primaries here where he could end up being, if not humiliated, certainly taken down to size a little bit, from a bunch of directions. establishment candidates like brian kemp could win. trump endorsed a far-right challenger who doesn't seem likely to win. you have the case in pennsylvania. you can see a bunch of chinks in the trump armor in terms of the sway he has over the republican party. barnette is the most interesting of those cases, i would say. she represents a different challenge to trump's power, which is not the republican establishment triumphing over maga world, but someone who sort of says, maga world doesn't belong to trump. trump doesn't lead maga world. maga world leads donald trump. he is, in a weird way, facing challenge

nebraska, we talked about how the governor there, the ricketts operation, ran over donald trump, destroyed his candidate. then you go to idaho, the crazy lieutenant governor there. i will say crazy lieutenant governor there that donald trump supported, what happened? she lost in idaho, one of the reddest states in america. so, again, i'm not saying donald trump doesn't have sway in the republican party, but i'll tell ya what, it's nothing like it was in 2020. i think the media needs to focus more on those massive losses instead of having the headlines about that his endorsement really means something significant. i'm not so sure it does this year. >> let's be clear about doug mastriano, the republican nominee for governor now in the state of pennsylvania. donald trump endorsed him on saturday, this past saturday. >> yeah. >> four days before election day. it's not like he propelled him to victory. mastriano was going to win anyway, and donald trump hopped on the band wagon, the way he is hopping off the perdue bandwagon when he sees it's not going his way. jd vance in ohio, most people bel

vance doing well in ohio, you had the ricketts coming together, the governor, and that organization runninged, so another person trump endorsed got defeated. quite a few right wing, far right candidates lost in idaho last night. as you said on the highest profile races madison cawthorn, donald trump stayed with him the whole way, and he lost last night. in pennsylvania it's telling, and yes there was a split in the vote, no doubt about it, barnett and oz, at the same time two out of three republicans in pennsylvania voted against donald trump's endorsed candidate. i just don't think that would have happened two or three years ago. >> no. and i think that if mccormick is able to pull this off, it's an opening for others in the republican party. look, ted cruz was on the campaign trail with david mccormick out here. mike pompeo endorsed david mccormick here. if you look ahead towards next week in georgia and david perdue loses by a significant margin to incumbent governor brian kemp, you know, there's going to be heads that begin to turn here and a realization that donald trump's word is not
