Trump Attacks Massie, Backs Gallrein in Kentucky Primary

Ed Gallrein in the upcoming Kentucky primary. This aggressive stance, communicated via Truth Social and ahead of a Kentucky visit, highlights a deepening rift within the Republican party.

Massie, an outspoken critic of Trump, has previously challenged the former president on issues ranging from Iran strikes and rising gas prices to supporting a war powers resolution and calling for Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick's resignation over Jeffrey Epstein files. Trump's endorsement of Gallrein, a Navy SEAL and Army Ranger, underscores his intent to influence midterm primaries and unseat incumbents not aligned with his agenda.

The ongoing feud signals potential shifts in GOP congressional representation and policy alignment, particularly concerning foreign policy and government oversight.
