The US president is trailing his Republican allies in Kentucky and Indiana. Donald Trump is taking part in key state primaries – usually where US presidents don’t interfere – urging voters to stay away and vote for candidates whom Trump sees as his political enemies. From Indiana to Kentucky, Louisiana and beyond, Anthony and Justin look at how Trump’s mega-Republican Party is targeting Republicans and succeeding. Trump’s main target is Republican congressman Thomas Massey of Kentucky, who has stood up to Trump on issues including the Epstein files, congressional spending and the war on Iran. Massey now faces a challenge from a multimillion-dollar Trump-backed candidate… We look at Massey’s chances, and what this race will say about what will happen to Republicans who oppose Trump. We also look at Louisiana and Indiana, where Trump recently fired state senators he deemed disloyal.
