“When President Trump decides to oust a Republican from office by backing a primary challenger, the most powerful man in the world draws on unusual powers to hit his mark,” the Wall Street Journal reports.
“In Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie’s case, Trump flew to his district to call him a ‘complete and total disaster.’ Then came billionaires launching attack ads and allies going silent for fear of presidential retribution.”
“The seven-term Kentucky congressman will find out Tuesday whether his career as the House GOP’s most outspoken presidential antagonist can survive this challenge. The outcome will signal whether Republicans are willing to adopt a form of MAGA politics that embraces leaders who break with Trump.”
