Election live updates: Voters go to the polls in Kentucky, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and more in major primary contests
Trump campaigned via phone for three GOP candidates in Kentucky yesterday, urging voters to back candidates that include the challenger to Rep. Thomas Massie.
Trump split time during the event advocating for Rep. Andy Barr for Senate, Ralph Alvarado for the 6th Congressional district and Ed Gallrein for the 4th Congressional District where Massie is the representative.
“This is a group, great group of people, but that’s in Kentucky’s 4th Congressional District against a disastrous Thomas Massie. I say, he’s the worst Republican congressman in the history of the country,” Trump said.
“You need to send Ed Gallrein to fight for you in Washington,” Trump said during the call.
Gallrein called the primary a “pick a side moment,” arguing that a vote for Massie — who has previously said he votes with the GOP “90% of the time” — would be “picking the radical Democrats” over “President Trump, the Republican Party and the Constitution.”
