Mark McCloskey, the pro-Trump candidate who gained notoriety after he and his wife pointed guns at Black Lives Matter protesters outside their home, was trounced Tuesday in Missouri's Republican primary for the Senate.
Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt easily won the race. With most of the results in, he had more votes than his nearest two competitors—U.S. Representative Vicky Hartzler and scandal-ridden former Missouri Governor Eric Greitens—combined.
McCloskey, meanwhile, trailed in fifth place with just 3 percent of the vote.

"I trust the Great People of Missouri, on this one, to make up their own minds, much as they did when they gave me landslide victories in the 2016 and 2020 Elections, and I am therefore proud to announce that ERIC has my Complete and Total Endorsement!" Trump wrote in a statement Monday night.
