- Trump backs Ed Gallrein, a first‑time candidate, in the Kentucky Republican primary against incumbent Rep. Thomas Massie.
- Thomas Massie argues Kentucky Republicans can support both him and Trump, a strategy that has previously failed elsewhere.
- Trump endorses Lt. Gov. Burt Jones in the Georgia governor Republican primary, where billionaire Rick Jackson has poured $83 million into the race.
- Trump endorses Rep. Barry Moore in the Alabama Senate race to replace Tommy Tuberville.
- Bill Cassidy lost his Louisiana Senate runoff, failing to repair his relationship with Trump after voting to convict him in his second impeachment trial.
Why it matters: Trump‑backed challengers gain a decisive edge in Republican primaries, while incumbents such as Massie and Cassidy face heightened defeat risk, reshaping the party’s congressional and gubernatorial line‑up ahead of the 2024 election.
