Kentucky Primary: A dramatic political showdown has ended in Kentucky after Republican Congressman Thomas Massie was defeated by Trump-backed challenger Ed Gallrein in one of the most expensive congressional primaries in U.S. history.
The high-stakes race drew national attention as President Donald Trump and major outside groups poured support behind Gallrein in a fierce battle that exposed deep divisions inside the Republican Party.
Gallrein celebrated the victory with supporters, calling the result a major win for the MAGA movement and conservative unity heading into the 2026 election cycle. Meanwhile, Massie’s concession speech quickly went viral online after he delivered a controversial final jab aimed at outside lobbying influence in the race.
