Former President Trump on Wednesday brushed off the defeat of his preferred candidate in a House special election in Texas the day before, saying in the end the choice was between “two very good people.” Susan Wright, whom Trump had endorsed and campaigned for, was defeated Tuesday by fellow Republican Jake Ellzey in the race to replace Wright’s late husband, GOP Rep. Ron Wright. Trump told Axios in an interview he was pressured to endorse Wright by the anti-tax Club for Growth, but he refused to frame the vote as a loss. “I think this is the only race we’ve lost together,” Trump told Axios while discussing Club for Growth, though he paused himself after saying “lost” to change the wording.
