Trump has backed Ed Gallrein in Kentucky's 4th District, defeating Rep. Thomas Massie in a high-spending primary that has tested Trump’s influence over dissenting Republicans amid debates over Iran policy and broader party loyalty. Other Tuesday contests in Georgia and Pennsylvania are shaping the midterm landscape.
Progressives win key primaries in New Jersey and California, led by Adam Hamawy in NJ-12 and Analilia Mejia in NJ-7, with other candidates advancing in California. The results reflect growing support for left-leaning, anti-war platforms and Palestine advocacy, while facing scrutiny over past ties to controversial figures. The broader national trend shows progressives expanding their influence in blue districts ahead of November.
