Republican Congressman Thomas Massie of Kentucky lost his party's primary election to his rival, former Navy SEAL commando Ed Gallrein, who received the explicit support of U.S. President Donald Trump. The result marks a significant victory for the president and for pro-Israel organizations such as AIPAC, which poured millions of dollars into efforts to oust the lawmaker in the traditionally red district. Massie frequently clashed with Trump on key issues and consistently opposed providing economic and military aid to Israel.
