“Congratulations to Corey Stewart for his great victory for Senator from Virginia,” Trump tweeted. “Now he runs against a total stiff, Tim Kaine, who is weak on crime and borders, and wants to raise your taxes through the roof. Don’t underestimate Corey, a major chance of winning!”

Stewart, the chairman of the Prince William County Board of Supervisors, defeated more moderate Republicans in Virginia’s GOP Senate primary on Tuesday, signaling a hardening of the party’s primary electorate. 

Stewart has cast himself as a stalwart supporter of Trump and a fierce opponent of illegal immigration.

He ran unsuccessfully for Virginia’s Republican gubernatorial nomination last year, and based much of that campaign around a call to preserve Confederate statues. Stewart was also forced to distance himself from an anti-Semitic and white nationalist candidate running for Congress in Wisconsin whom he had previously praised.
