A truer measure of a candidate's success is the extent to which they managed to increase the share of people voting for the Republican Party compared to the 2020 presidential election. The difference was largest in areas defended by the Democrats. In areas where the local Republican candidate was backed by Trump, the party's vote share fell by 3.6 percentage points. But when the Republican challenger was not endorsed by Trump, the Republican vote share increased by 5.9 percentage points.Similar patterns were seen in the races to unseat Democratic senators, governors, and secretaries of state.
