Trump Criticizes Kentucky's Massie Amidst Primary Elections in Six States
Voters in six U.S. states, including Kentucky, are heading to the polls for primary elections. The Kentucky race is particularly significant as it tests President Trump's influence over the Republican Party. Trump has publicly criticized Kentucky Congressman Thomas Massie, calling him the 'worst and most unreliable Republican Congressman' and urging voters to remove him from office. Massie, known for opposing Trump's policies, faces a primary challenge from Ed Gallrein, who has Trump's endorsement. The elections also include races to replace retiring Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell, with candidates like Andy Barr and Daniel Cameron vying for the position. In addition to Kentucky, voters in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Alabama, Oregon, and Idaho are selecting candidates for the upcoming midterm elections.
