Trump’s success at purging Republican dissenters may not help in midterm elections - AP News
Overview
Indiana primary results showed Trump can effectively back challengers to punish Republican lawmakers who defy him, and the Massie contest is a key example of that power. New reporting adds that this purge strategy is already hurting the party’s ability to govern — Senate leaders have stepped back from major bills amid the fallout — underscoring risks that these fights will sap political capital, lower turnout, and weaken midterm coordination. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna’s willingness to stall the House in service of a Trump-aligned agenda illustrates how that influence is translating into obstructive behavior in Congress, intensifying governance problems.
