US President Donald Trump has scored another victory in his campaign to punish disloyal Republicans as Thomas Massie of Kentucky lost his primary race, underscoring the risks for lawmakers who defy Trump.
Massie, who angered Trump by leading a push to release Justice Department files tied to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, was defeated by Ed Gallrein, a former Navy SEAL backed by the president and bolstered by heavy outside spending by pro-Israel groups.
The contest offered the latest evidence of Trump's hold over Republicans.
