Former President Donald Trump has loomed large over Republican primary races across the country, embracing a kingmaker role to steer the GOP's trajectory with his coveted endorsement.

Following myriad losses in Georgia, Trump's endorsement prowess came roaring back in primary elections, notching victories for Illinois state Sen. Darren Bailey and state Rep. Mary Miller. Both contenders were widely perceived as populists facing off against rivals who hewed closer to a more traditional Republican comportment.

Trump has eked out 145 wins and 11 losses so far, per the Washington Examiner's tally of his endorsement record as of June 30. His endorsements have ranged from safe bets on incumbents and uncontested contenders such as Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) to riskier picks, such as Katie Arrington, who was unsuccessful in her primary challenge to Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC). At least 47 of his endorsement triumphs came from races that were not contested.

Here is a look at who Trump has endorsed and how those candidates fared in their primary contests.

With primary races still left in such states as Florida and Michigan, there are at least 60 outstanding Trump endorsements, but it remains to be seen how his stamp of approval will play out.

The former president has also issued endorsements in foreign elections, supporting Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban.

This tally of Trump's endorsement record will be updated.
