Report: Barack Obama furious after Donald Trump’s clever move

The Fake News media missed a major story in their flush of headlines about the 2026 primary results this week: The biggest losers were former President Barack Obama and former Vice President Kamala Harris.

The two former presidential candidates are grinding their teeth after they got destroyed this week by President Donald Trump.

Their political Waterloo came this week in Georgia, where Obama and Harris waded into the Georgia Republican Supreme Court race.

Obama and Harris endorsed two liberal minority candidates—Miracle Rankin, an attorney, and Jen Jordan, a former state senator—to defeat the more conservative, Republican-appointed Justices Charles Bethel and Sarah Warren.

“State supreme court justices play a critical role in defending your rights and freedoms,” wrote Obama on social media. “Make sure you have a plan to vote for Jen Jordan and Miracle Rankin, who have “strong records of standing up for all Georgians.”

Kamala Harris also endorsed the losing pair, calling Jordan and Rankin “extraordinary leaders who will fight to protect your rights and uphold the rule of law.”

As usual, the entire Democratic establishment marched to the tune of these two Pied Pipers. Such left-wing pillars as Planned Parenthood, the ACLU, and other ultra-liberal and Democratic groups helped Jordan and Rankin blow about $2 million in advertising on the race.

They may as well have set their money on fire.

Rankin lost by a respectable two-point margin—but Jordan lost her race by a humiliating 19-point blowout.

Obama can’t downplay his embarrassing loss, because he wrote, “the election happening in Georgia right now is so important.”

And, of course, Kamala Harris is no stranger to wasting an enormous amount of money on a pathetic, losing campaign.

The expensive loss is bad enough, but they had to watch President Donald Trump gloating as the candidates he supported raced to victory again, and again, and again.

The highest-profile race came when Trump-endorsed Ed Gallrein ousted incumbent libertarian-leaning Republican Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky. The $32 million showdown in the fourth congressional district of Kentucky became the most expensive House primary in U.S. history.

Aside from Trump’s nomination and the strong support of the GOP’s hawkish wing, not much is known about Gallrein, who kept a low profile while riding the president’s coattails into the general election against Democrat Melissa Strange.

But President Trump has had a clean sweep on Tuesday.

So far in the 2026 election cycle, President Trump has a 100 percent victory record for Senate endorsements and 98 percent record in the House of Representatives. The GOP rejected just one of his House endorsements: Blake Moore of Utah, who lost his nomination at the state Republican Party convention, not in a contested primary.

Even at the state level, the GOP has rejected only four people the president endorsed for their respective state legislatures, three of whom lost their primaries and one who lost a special election (John Maples for the Florida House). Voters also turned against his endorsed candidate for Texas Commissioner of Agriculture, Sid Miller.

But his box score of endorsements is almost unbeatable. President Trump also won 100 percent of his Republican  primary endorsements in 2025, 96 percent in 2024, 67 percent in 2023, 93 in 2022, and 100 percent in 2021.

Between 2018 and 2025, President Trump earned a 91 percent record of seeing his endorsed candidates win Republican primaries. So, when he grants his “full and complete” endorsement, there’s a better than nine out of 10 chance Republicans voters will listen.

His victories only highlight how completely voters rejected Obama and Harris.

For Obama, this election has been a shutout.

Obama has not yet endorsed any other candidates in 2026, according to the nonpartisan political website Ballotpedia.

In other words, Barack Obama is a complete loser.

Kamala Harris hardly rates any better.

In addition to these two Georgia Supreme Court washouts, the 2024 presidential flop endorsed Texas bigmouth Jasmine Crockett to win the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. Crockett lost to James Tallarico by eight points.

True, Harris also threw her support behind Roy Cooper to win the North Carolina Democratic Senate primary—but she can’t claim any credit for his victory. There was never any doubt that Cooper, the popular former governor, would wipe the floor with his opposition. In the end, Cooper won the March 3 primary with 92 percent of the vote.

Thanks for nothing, Kamala.

Over the long term, Obama’s endorsements have a 64 percent chance of winning general elections since 2018. President Trumps have 70 percent, even though he made nearly twice as many endorsements.

Picking a higher percentage of winners from a larger field of candidates puts a smile on President Trump’s face—and a scowl on Obama and Kamala’s frowning mugs.

That’s not to say all of President Trump’s endorsements are good for the GOP or  America. Conservative commentator Daniel Horowitz of The Blaze has spent years pointing out that the president endorsed a fair number of RINOs

“Trump’s primary endorsements are sabotaging his own agenda,” he wrote in January—and he’s not the only one who’s noticed the president’s self-defeating actions.

“His endorsements solidify the swamp and ensure the swamp is never drained,” said former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia. “Keep voting for Trump endorsed candidates with F voting records, and you are responsible.

In other words, President Trump is beating Barack Obama, but the Swamp may be beating him.

It’s incredible that nine years after he first entered the White House, President Trump has not yet weeded out hostile, anti-Trump advisors and operators from his political operation—or his administration.

They even laugh at President Trump behind his back. Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie revealed that “so many” Republican politicians publicly praise President Trump as “the greatest president since Abraham Lincoln” then privately insult the president as “nuts.” One of them is South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham, Christie told Bill Maher on Overtime in February.

Too often, the men Trump endorses shake his hand, then stab him and his supporters in the back.

Thursday was one of those days.

“Senate Republicans left town for Memorial Day recess Thursday without passing a monumental reconciliation bill, ignoring Trump’s deadline and stalling billions of funding for ICE and Border Patrol,” because of “a RINO revolt over Trump’s new $1.776 billion ‘anti-weaponization’ fund,” wrote Dan Bongino in his daily email Thursday morning.

But President Trump endorsed almost every RINO shutting down his agenda today—and the weak Republican “leadership” letting them do it.

It’s a good thing that President Trump’s picks usually win; a party should generally reflect its leader and enact his agenda.

But to have a successful administration and leave behind a winning party, the president can only endorse candidates who will win for the American people and the America First agenda.

If they refuse to help Americans pay lower gas prices, get a job in their hometown, or buy a house for themselves and their children, let they don’t deserve Trump’s golden touch.
