YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Donald Trump’s candidate Ed Gallrein defeated Thomas Massie in a congressional primary in Northern Kentucky, with Gallrein having about 55% to Massie’s 45% of the votes. #trump #politics #worldnews #kentucky #republican

Gallrein’s victory is seen as a sign of Trump’s grip over his base in solid Republican states, despite national surveys showing the broader electorate souring on the president’s handling of the economy and war in Iran.

The primary was one of the most expensive on record, with nearly $33 million spent, and Gallrein’s win is the latest in a winning streak for the Trump political operation.
