Another example: [Primary results from Georgia, Alabama, Virginia and DC - CNNPolitics](https://www.cnn.com/2022/06/22/politics/alabama-virginia-georgia-dc-primary-takeaways/index.html) > The former President had endorsed Brooks, only to rescind it later and then ultimately back Britt in the runoff once it became clear she was the front-runner. > > And on Tuesday, Britt – and Trump – prevailed, CNN projected. These two sentences contradict each other, IMO. If Trump only endorsed Britt “once it became clear she was the front-runner”, then he didn’t “prevail” when she won. Anybody can endorse candidates once it’s clear that they are already the front-runners and end up on the winning side the vast majority of the time. That’s not “prevail[ing]”. ---
