President Donald Trump spent part of Wednesday posting endorsements on Truth Social, focusing on primary challengers to Indiana state legislators who defied his command to redistrict the state last year — but he didn't seem to realize one of the challengers he endorsed isn't running anymore.

"Bluffton City Councilman Blake Fiechter, a True America First Patriot, is running against 'RINO' State Senator Travis Holdman, in Indiana’s 19th Senate District who, for whatever reason, voted against Redistricting in Indiana, in a District that I won by 39 points, which puts the United States Congress in jeopardy," wrote Trump.
