Trump-backed Navy SEAL vet delivers major blow to Massie in fiery GOP primary
Trump called Massie the ‘worst Republican congressman in history’ and Hegseth campaigned for Gallrein as race came to close
HEBRON, KY – President Donald Trump on Tuesday scored another victory in his revenge campaign against GOP critics, further flexing his grip on the Republican Party after a string of primary wins in recent weeks.
Trump-backed Ed Gallrein, a former Navy SEAL and Kentucky farmer, defeated the president’s longtime antagonist, Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., according to The Associated Press.
Gallrein’s victory represents a major win for Trump’s political operation and pro-Israel allied groups, who spent aggressively to unseat the sitting lawmaker.
Speaking at his victory celebration, Gallrein thanked Trump for his support and emphasized, “My focus is on advancing the president’s and the party’s agenda to put America first and Kentucky always.”
