Republican fights to survive Trump’s wrath in most expensive House primary ever - The Washington Post
Overview
Rep. Thomas Massie faced a close, high-stakes Republican primary against Ed Gallrein after repeatedly defying Donald Trump, and Gallrein’s victory unseated Massie. The contest was heavily funded and closely watched as a test of whether independent Republicans can survive targeted challenges. That question is reinforced by other recent outcomes in Kentucky, including Andy Barr’s Trump-backed primary win for the U.S. Senate, which together highlight the potency of outside endorsements and spending in shaping GOP primaries.
