Donald Trump tightens grip on Republican Party with Massie defeat | The World | ABC NEWS
Primary elections have begun across a number of US states. Democratic and Republican candidates are being elected ahead of the November midterms, which are shaping up to be an important test for Donald Trump’s second term in office. In Kentucky, a Trump-endorsed GOP candidate won the race after Congressman Thomas Massie lost his fight for re-election following his vocal criticism of the president. Massie has been one of few Republicans to publicly challenge Trump’s policies – and his ousting marks a victory for Trump and his faithful. United States Studies Centre lecturer in American studies Dr Kathryn Robison joined The World to discuss how the primary elections are shaping the battleground for November’s midterms.
