Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made an unprecedented campaign appearance in Kentucky's 4th Congressional District on May 18, stumping against fellow Republican Thomas Massie in a Trump-backed primary challenge by Navy SEAL veteran Ed Gallrein. The race has become the most expensive House primary in U.S. history, with over $34 million spent—much of it from pro-Israel super PACs—raising questions about Hatch Act compliance, the politicization of the Pentagon, and whether the contest serves as a warning shot to any Republican who breaks with Trump.
