Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) is projected to lose his Kentucky House primary race to President Trump-endorsed challenger Ed Gallrein, according to Decision Desk HQ, a major victory for the president in his bid to oust Republican lawmakers who openly defy him.
Gallrein, a retired Navy SEAL and farmer, was projected to win the GOP primary in Kentucky's 4th Congressional District, ending Massie's 14-year tenure in the deep-red seat.
