WHITE HOUSE — Donald J.Trump claimed a perfect 16-0 record for his endorsed candidates in primary elections across four states on a Truth Social post on June 23, 2026, at 9:28 PM EST.

Here is the full post (see truthsocial.com): “JUNE 23RD ELECTION RECAP: 16 WINS – O LOSSES PRESIDENT TRUMP ENDORSEMENTS 3-0 UTAH 100% 10-0 NEW YORK MARYLAND 1-0 ***** TRUMP VANCE MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! 2-0 SOUTH CAROLINA,”

The post included a campaign-produced infographic breaking down the results by state. Trump-backed candidates went 3-0 in Utah, 10-0 in New York, 1-0 in Maryland and 2-0 in South Carolina, the graphic showed. The image featured the “Trump Vance” campaign branding alongside the slogan “Make America Great Again” and a green checkmark beside a photo of the president.

Voters in five states went to the polls on June 23. Maryland and New York held primaries for state and congressional offices, while Utah conducted primaries in new congressional districts drawn after court-ordered redistricting reshuffled U.S. House boundaries (see Google). South Carolina voters returned for primary runoffs in several congressional districts and for the Republican nomination for governor (see thestate.com). South Dakota residents in Sioux Falls also chose a new mayor after no candidate won a majority in the June 2 election (see Google).

Salt Lake County confirmed that all active, eligible voters received mailed ballots ahead of the June 23 primary, with early voting and Election Day vote centers also available (see saltlakecounty.gov). Republican primaries in Utah required voters to be affiliated with the party, while other races remained open to unaffiliated voters who requested an open primary ballot.

The strong showing reinforces Trump’s grip on Republican primary voters as the party heads toward general elections later this year. His endorsement has become one of the most sought-after prizes in GOP politics, and a clean sweep across multiple states signals continued dominance over the party’s candidate selection process (see cbsnews.com).

In the last 30 days, 131 of 648 Trump posts on Truth Social addressed the topic of elections, according to Zenger analysis.
