From the Left
AllSides Media Bias Rating: Lean Left
Rep. Thomas Massie lost his primary Tuesday against Ed Gallrein, a huge win for President Trump's unprecedented campaign to oust the Kentucky Republican.
Why it matters: Massie's loss sends another warning to Republicans about the dangers of crossing Trump, and shows that the president's broader political problems haven't diminished his power with the base.
