Thomas Smith won Michigan's 8th District GOP primary with just over 50% of the vote Tuesday, CBS News projected — even though he had suspended his campaign in mid-July. Mr. Trump even appeared at a campaign rally with Hassan and other Republican candidates in Milford, Michigan, a few days ago. Smith, who says on his campaign website that he's a salsa entrepreneur and retired General Motors engineer, struggled with fundraising. Mr. Trump alluded to Hassan's defeat without mentioning him by name Wednesday. "Good person, very good, very respected, but nobody knew who the person was," the president said during a speech in Las Vegas.
