Political analysts say the district’s voting patterns make it a key test of influence within the Republican Party, particularly when candidates receive endorsements from prominent national figures.
The advancement of a Trump-backed candidate highlights the continuing role President Donald Trump plays in shaping GOP primary contests across several states.
