But there were other important stories on June 25, including, according to Politico, some disappointments for former President Donald Trump.

Boebert's victory was good news for him, as the congresswoman has been a staunch Trump loyalist.

However, Politico reporters Ally Mutnick and Madison Fernandez stress that on the whole, June 25 was a "rough primary night" for Trump.

"The former president endorsed a replacement for Sen. Mitt Romney," Mutnick and Fernandez explain, "but Utah voters picked a Trump skeptic [Rep. John Curtis] instead. He backed his spiritual adviser [Mark Burns} for an open South Carolina House seat only to watch him narrowly lose in a runoff. Trump threw his support to the Colorado GOP chair [Dave Williams] for a House district; he was blown out by more than 30 points."

The journalists add, "On the heels of two other recent flops and one high-profile near-miss in Virginia that could have been embarrassing, the string of losses mars a nearly unblemished record this cycle."

The "misses" on June 25, according to Mutnick and Fernandez, "were all in red seats Republicans are favored to win in the fall" and underscore "the ideological factions in the GOP that have been at war all cycle."

"In those races," they observe, "Trump's loss is the establishment's triumph."
