Kentucky's 4th District primary on May 19, 2026, pits eight-term libertarian-leaning Republican Rep. Thomas Massie against Trump-endorsed former Navy SEAL Ed Gallrein in what has become the most expensive U.S. House primary in history, with over $34 million in total spending. The contest — fueled by Trump-aligned super PACs, pro-Israel donors, and an unprecedented campaign appearance by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth — tests whether Trump can purge a fiscal conservative incumbent whose votes against the party on foreign aid, the Speaker, and Trump's tax package made him the president's top intra-party target.
