Ed Gallrein, en före detta Navy SEAL som stöttas av president Donald Trump, besegrade den sjufaldige kongressledamoten Thomas Massie i det republikanska primärvalet i Kentuckys fjärde kongressdistrikt på tisdagen. The Associated Press utropade Gallrein till segrare, vilket markerar en betydande seger för presidenten i hans ansträngningar att röja undan upplevda kritiker inom partiet.

Tävlingen blev det dyraste primärvalet till representanthuset i USA:s historia, med totala utgifter på över 32 miljoner dollar enligt AdImpact. Grupper som stödjer Gallrein, däribland pro-israeliska super-PACs och en Trump-allierad kommitté, satsade tiotals miljoner på att rikta in sig på Massie på grund av hans motstånd mot presidentens agenda, inklusive röster mot "One Big Beautiful Bill" och insatser relaterade till Jeffrey Epstein-dokumenten.
