And sometimes it's about who he thinks is more likely to win.
After last week's election, Trump's campaign political director, James Blair, posted online that everyone Trump endorsed either won outright or advanced to a runoff.
And that was true in Texas, North Carolina and Arkansas.
But many of those were uncontested primaries or there were no serious challengers.
That's also the same for yesterday in Mississippi.
But one notable result to me was North Carolina's U.S.
Senate primary.
Trump's handpicked leader of the Republican National Committee and handpicked choice to represent the party in one of the top Senate races, Michael Watley, only got 60 percent in the primary.
So unlike other races and places, his seal of approval could not clear the field.
And it's something to keep an eye on in the competitive general election there.
Well, Trump teased he would quickly make a pick last week between Senator John Cornyn and Texas Attorney General Kim Paxton.
But it hasn't happened.
One reason, he also said the other person should drop out.
And both Cornyn and Paxton said that ain't happening.
Another reason voters won't make their choice there until May 26th.
Here in Georgia, Trump hasn't weighed in on the Republican Senate primary to take on incumbent Democrat John Ossoff either.
There are two congressmen, Mike Collins and Buddy Carter, along with former college football coach Derek Dooley, that are all running somewhat neck and neck in polling.
But the most popular choice for voters, and for Trump right now, is undecided with months left to go in the race.
Greene resigned in January after a lengthy fallout with Trump over what, quote, America first conservatism actually means.
That riff continues in the special election.
