President Donald Trump on Wednesday tweeted out congrats to Republican primary winners Rep. Lou Barletta in Pennsylvania and Sen. Deb Fischer in Nebraska.

Congratulations to Lou Barletta of Pennsylvania. He will be a great Senator and will represent his people well - like they haven’t been represented in many years. Lou is a friend of mine and a special guy, he will very much help MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Congratulations to Deb Fischer. The people of Nebraska have seen what a great job she is doing - and it showed up at the ballot box! #MAGA

The president Tuesday tweeted out support for Fischer, seeking her second term as senator, which is likely a foregone conclusion in dead-red Nebraska.

Likewise, Trump has been an ardent supporter of Barletta's, who's running to unseat two-term Democratic incumbent Sen. Bob Casey in November. Trump asked Barletta to run against Casey.
