Trump Flexes Political Muscle As Massie Falls In Kentucky Primary

By Bradley Jaye | Breitbart

The Republican brouhaha for Kentucky’s Fourth Congressional District is perhaps the most high-profile primary of the 2026 cycle, with the Texas GOP Senate primary the only other contender. Trump went all-in for Ed Gallrein in the race against Massie, visiting the district himself in recent weeks and dispatching Secretary of War Pete Hegseth – in a private capacity – to the state to campaign with Gallrein Monday.

The President is riding high in recent weeks after securing retribution against most of the Indiana State Senators who voted against his redistricting plan and the defeat of Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA). Cassidy failed to make the runoff Saturday against Trump-endorsed Rep. Julia Letlow and State Treasurer John Fleming. Republicans received more good news after the Supreme Court kneecapped Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, permitting states primarily in the South to end the unconstitutional forced gerrymandering based on race that secured double-digit seats for Democrats each year in red states. And the Virginia Supreme Court ruled a successful referendum in Virginia to gerrymander congressional district lines was a violation of Virginia state law.

Voters Tuesday also go to the polls in Oregon, Idaho, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Alabama. There are multiple notable primaries for House races throughout those states.

Perhaps the biggest races are in Georgia and Alabama. The Peach State held Republican primaries to replace Gov. Brian Kemp (R), who is term limited, and for the right to take on Sen. Jon Ossoff (D) in November. In the Yellowhammer State, Republicans are fighting to replace Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R), who faces no real opposition in his race for that state’s governorship.
