Who Benefited

President Donald Trump and his endorsed candidate Clay Fuller benefited from the visit through heightened visibility, consolidated national GOP support, and increased fundraising and media attention ahead of the March special election.

Colton Moore and other challengers suffered from a lack of the president's endorsement and intensified intra-party scrutiny, while local voters risk having local issues crowded out by nationalized campaign dynamics.
