President Donald Trump's sustained effort to unseat Republican officials who defied him reaches a critical inflection point on May 5, 2026, as seven Indiana state senators who voted against his redistricting plan face Trump-endorsed primary challengers in races flooded with nearly $12 million in outside spending. The Indiana contests are the opening salvo in a month of revenge primaries that also includes federal races targeting Sen. Bill Cassidy in Louisiana and Rep. Thomas Massie in Kentucky, testing whether a sitting president can systematically reshape his own party through primary warfare — an effort with mixed historical precedent dating back to FDR's failed 1938 purge of conservative Democrats.
