Kentucky House Primary Election 2026 Live Results

President Donald Trump and his political operation made unseating Rep. Thomas Massie their mission in 2026, turning his 4th District primary into the most expensive House race ever, in terms of advertising. Trump endorsed former Navy SEAL, Ed Gallrein. There is also an open Republican primary to succeed Rep. Andy Barr in the 6th District, where Trump also picked a favorite.

The expected vote is the total number of votes that are expected in a given race once all votes are counted. This number is an estimate and is based on several different factors, including information on the number of votes cast early as well as information provided to our vote reporters on Election Day from county election officials. The figure can change as NBC News gathers new information.

What Thomas Massie’s Primary Says About Trump’s Influence

Last week, William Paul, the son of Kentucky senator Rand Paul, approached the Republican congressman Mike Lawler at a bar in Washington, D.C., and began berating him. The subject of Paul’s tirade was a House primary in Kentucky where Ed Gallrein, a former Navy SEAL endorsed by President Donald Trump, is attempting to take out Thomas Massie, an iconoclastic libertarian and occasional Trump apostate. Massie, Paul said, is one of only two members of Congress who actually care about America (the other being Paul’s father), and his defeat would be the fault of Lawler’s “people,” by which, it turned out, he meant “you Jews.” When Lawler pointed out that he isn’t Jewish, Paul said that he was “so sorry for calling you a Jew,” then continued to spew invective, advising Lawler, among other things, to “watch more Tucker Carlson,” before giving him the middle finger, acknowledging, “I’m just really drunk,” then knocking over his barstool and stumbling out. (The scene unspooled in front of a reporter from the news site NOTUS. Paul has since apologized and said that he has an alcohol problem.)
