As the Kentucky Primary approaches on Tuesday, Donald Trump is turning his full attention toward Rep. Thomas Massie, with the single-minded goal to unseat the incumbent. He has been using every bit of his influence to rally support for his preferred challenger, Ed Gallrein, while simultaneously attacking Massie for what he views as a lack of loyalty.
This race has become the most expensive House primary battle in the history of the United States, with $25.6 million poured just into advertising. By extension, the district has become a test for Trump’s ability to reshape the Republican Party. To aid that push, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth will be campaigning for Gallrein. Trump also hit Truth Social to attack Massie, and anyone who supports him, including long-time MAGA supporter, Rep. Lauren Boebert.
