"I was asked to do that, by my son Don, and I did it, but I did it — I was asked the morning of — and by the time I did it I guess 70 percent, almost 70 percent of the vote was already cast," Trump said.

"So, I don’t consider that to be, maybe I’ll take a quarter of a loss on that one," he added. "But I think it’s 48 and a quarter, it’s 48-1 which is pretty good, right? Pretty good.”

Trump Jr. endorsed Freiss, an early supporter of Trump's presidential campaign, in an op-ed published Aug. 5. The president followed suit, but not until Aug. 21, the morning of the primary.

Trump has hit the campaign trail at an increasingly frequent clip in recent weeks to support GOP candidates, particularly in Senate races. He has held rallies in Michigan, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Indiana, with additional rallies planned in Montana and Texas.

The GOP is seeking to protect majorities in the House and Senate in November's midterm elections. Many pundits, politicians and pollsters have said this year's midterms will serve as a referendum on Trump.

Two new polls released Tuesday morning showed Democrats with a sizable and growing lead over Republicans on the generic House ballot.
