Trump staring down barrel of potential 'huge, huge defeat' amid no-win scenario: reporter

Analysts warn Massie’s loss to a Trump-backed challenger could signal a major setback for Trump’s party sway.
Massie’s win would challenge the idea that money decisively controls GOP primaries, per Caldwell.
The Massie-Gallrein race became the most expensive House primary in U.S. history, reaching at least $25.6 million.
Massie’s stance on Israel and Gaza has drawn spending against him from pro-Israel groups.
The primary featured retired Navy SEAL Ed Gallrein as Trump’s chosen challenger against Massie.
Massie’s past opposition to Trump over Jeffrey Epstein files is highlighted as a flashpoint in the race.
The race is a focal point for assessing Trump’s influence on GOP primary outcomes in rural Kentucky.
The outcome has implications for Trump’s fundraising dynamics and party loyalty moving forward.
The primary attracted extensive coverage and analysis from political reporters and outlets.
