总统唐纳德·特朗普是周二多场初选的最大赢家,这位总统为其青睐的大批候选人赢得共和党初选或晋级决选而庆祝。

马西在历史性的数百万美元级肯塔基初选中被淘汰

在美国众议院历史上耗资最高的初选中,长期与特朗普作对的肯塔基州共和党联邦众议员托马斯·马西在肯塔基州第四国会选区选举中不敌前海军特种作战队员埃德·加雷恩。据美联社报道,加雷恩以近55%的得票率大胜马西的45.1%。

此次失利将标志着马西国会任期的终结,在其任期后期,马西愈发频繁地反对特朗普,批评总统在贸易协定、杰弗里·爱泼斯坦文件和伊朗战争等问题上的举措。

在败选演讲中,马西提到其对手获得了美国以色列公共事务委员会(AIPAC)等亲以色列团体的大量支持。

“我本应该更早认输,但我得打电话给对手承认败选,结果在特拉维夫找他花了不少时间,”他在周二晚间向支持者开玩笑道。

包括AIPAC和共和党犹太联盟在内的亲以色列团体,以及其他支持特朗普的组织,斥巨资投放针对马西的攻击广告和支持加雷恩的宣传广告。本次选举总耗资超过3200万美元,成为众议院历史上最昂贵的初选。

特朗普及其代言人,如战争部长皮特·赫格斯瑟,在肯塔基州和全国媒体中全力反对马西,特朗普在Truth Social平台多次预初选攻击中,称马西为“史上最差的共和党众议员”。

而加雷恩则感谢特朗普的支持,并对支持者表示:“今晚选举的赢家与其说是埃德·加雷恩……不如说是肯塔基州第四国会选区的共和党选民及其家人,我将在华盛顿为他们发声。”

安迪·巴尔借助特朗普助力击败拥挤的参议院初选 有望接替麦康奈尔

在肯塔基州其他选区,获得特朗普支持的肯塔基州共和党联邦众议员安迪·巴尔赢得该州参议院席位的共和党提名,该席位因参议员米奇·麦康奈尔决定不寻求连任而空缺。据美联社报道,巴尔以超过60%的得票率轻松击败前肯塔基州总检察长丹尼尔·卡梅伦。他将对阵前肯塔基州众议员查尔斯·布克,后者周二赢得了民主党提名。

拉芬斯珀格在佐治亚州失利 决选格局初现

在佐治亚州,另一位特朗普的对手承认败选,该州务卿布拉德·拉芬斯珀格未能在共和党州长初选中晋级,落后于副州长伯特·琼斯和亿万富翁医疗高管里克·杰克逊,两人将晋级6月16日的决选。

拉芬斯珀格在2021年公开质疑特朗普关于佐治亚州2020年总统选举结果不实的说法,因此招致特朗普的愤怒。

据美联社报道,尽管特朗普没有主动发起针对拉芬斯珀格的竞选活动,但他支持本次选举得票最高的琼斯,琼斯获得了超过38%的选票。杰克逊最终获得约32.5%的选票,而拉芬斯珀格的得票率为15%。

6月决选的获胜者将对阵凯莎·兰斯·巴恩斯,这位亚特兰大前市长在本月早些时候获得了前总统乔·拜登卸任后的首次政治背书。据美联社报道,巴恩斯轻松击败民主党对手,获得超过56%的选票。

在该州参议院初选中,特朗普未进行干预,联邦众议员迈克·柯林斯和前NFL教练德里克·杜利均晋级6月16日的决选,两人得票均高于联邦众议员巴迪·卡特,后者将无法晋级。

据美联社报道,坚定且公开支持特朗普的柯林斯获得最多选票,得票率超过40%。杜利这位曾执教阿拉巴马大学的前橄榄球教练以刚过30%的得票率晋级。

图伯维尔锁定提名 阿拉巴马州参议院席位竞争激烈

说到阿拉巴马州和橄榄球,前奥本大学橄榄球主教练、现任联邦参议员汤米·图伯维尔,共和党-阿拉巴马州,获得本党提名,将竞选阿拉巴马州州长。同样获得特朗普支持的图伯维尔将对阵前民主党参议员道格·琼斯,后者周二赢得了民主党提名。

为填补图伯维尔空出的参议院席位,获得特朗普青睐的联邦众议员巴里·摩尔在共和党参议院初选中以近40%的得票率晋级,据美联社报道。

前海军特种作战队员贾里德·哈德森和阿拉巴马州务卿史蒂夫·马歇尔竞争第二个决选席位,两人得票不相上下。据美联社报道,截至发稿时仍有约5500张选票待统计,哈德森以123531票领先马歇尔的118228票。

特朗普在西北部大获全胜 民主党在宾夕法尼亚州取得胜利

在美国其他地区,获得特朗普支持的候选人在爱达荷州取得胜利,现任州长布拉德·利特尔和参议员吉姆·里希赢得初选。在俄勒冈州,获得特朗普支持的现任联邦众议员克利福德·本茨轻松赢得初选。

在特朗普影响力之外的宾夕法尼亚州,民主党人庆祝三名获得民主党州长乔希·夏皮罗背书的候选人在初选中获胜。鲍勃·哈维、鲍勃·布鲁克斯和珍妮尔·斯泰尔森均赢得初选,将在11月的选举中对阵共和党现任议员,民主党希望借此夺回这些选区。

Trump-backed nominees dominate primary contests as president tightens party vice grip

Rep Thomas Massie lost to former Navy SEAL Ed Gallrein in Kentucky after $32M was spent on the race overall

President Donald Trump was the biggest winner of Tuesday’s wide slate of primary elections as the president celebrated a large swath of his preferred candidates winning GOP primaries or advancing to runoff elections.

Massie Ousted in Historic, Multimillion-Dollar Kentucky Primary

In the most expensive primary in U.S. House history, a longtime thorn in Trump’s side, Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., lost to former Navy SEAL Ed Gallrein in Kentucky’s 4th District. Gallrein defeated Massie soundly with nearly 55% of the vote to Massie’s 45.1%, according to The Associated Press.

The defeat will mark the end to Massie’s congressional stint, a tenure which, toward its end, saw Massie increasingly opposing Trump and criticizing the president’s actions on trade deals, the Jeffrey Epstein files and the Iran war.

In his concession speech, Massie highlighted the influx of support his opponent received from pro-Israel groups like the American Israeli Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC).

“I would have come out sooner, but I had to call my opponent to concede and it took a while to find him in Tel Aviv,” he joked to his supporters Tuesday night.

Pro-Israeli groups like AIPAC and the Republican Jewish Coalition, as well as other pro-Trump groups, poured millions of dollars into attack ads against Massie and support ads for Gallrein. With over $32 million spent on the race overall, the contest became the most expensive primary in House history.

Trump and surrogates, like Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, campaigned arduously against Massie in Kentucky and in national media, with Trump referring to Massie as the “Worst Republican Congressman in History” in one of many pre-primary attacks on Truth Social.

Gallrein, for his part, thanked Trump for his support and told supporters “the winner of the race tonight is not so much Ed Gallrein… but it’s the Republicans of Kentucky Congressional District 4 and their families, who I will be a champion for in Washington.”

ANDY BARR BESTS CROWDED SENATE PRIMARY WITH HELP FROM TRUMP ON WAY TO REPLACING MCCONNELL

Elsewhere in Kentucky, Trump-backed Rep. Andy Barr, R-Ky., won the GOP nomination for the state’s Senate seat, vacated by Sen. Mitch McConnell’s decision not to run for re-election. Barr defeated former Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron handily, winning over 60% of the vote, according to AP. He will face former Kentucky state Rep. Charles Booker, who won the Democratic Party’s nomination Tuesday.

Raffensperger Falls Short in Georgia as Runoffs Take Shape

In Georgia, another Trump foe conceded defeat when the state’s Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger failed to advance in the GOP gubernatorial primary, falling behind Lt. Gov. Burt Jones and billionaire healthcare executive Rick Jackson, both of whom will advance to a June 16 runoff.

Raffensperger drew Trump’s ire in 2021 when he publicly contested claims Trump made that the 2020 presidential election results in Georgia were inaccurate.

While Trump did not actively campaign against Raffensperger, he threw his support behind Jones, the race’s top vote-getter with over 38% of the vote, according to AP. Jackson finished with roughly 32.5%, compared to Raffensperger’s 15%, per AP.

The winner of June’s runoff will face Keisha Lance Bottoms, a former mayor of Atlanta who earlier this month collected former President Joe Biden’s first political endorsement since leaving office. Bottoms defeated her Democratic opponents comfortably, collecting over 56% of the vote, per AP.

In the state’s Senate primary, a race in which Trump chose not to place his thumb on the scale, Rep. Mike Collins and former NFL coach Derek Dooley both advanced to the June 16 primary, both gaining more votes than Rep. Buddy Carter, who will not advance.

Collins, a strong and vocal supporter of Trump’s, gained the most votes, pulling in over 40%, according to AP. Dooley, a former football coach who most recently coached at the University of Alabama, advanced with just over 30% of the vote.

Tuberville Clinches Nomination; Tight Race for Alabama Senate Seat

Speaking of Alabama and football, former Auburn University head football coach and current U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., secured his party’s nomination to become the next governor of Alabama. Tuberville, who was also backed by Trump, will face former Democratic Sen. Doug Jones, who won his party’s nomination Tuesday.

To replace Tuberville in the Senate, Trump-favored Rep. Barry Moore advanced in the GOP Senate primary with close to 40% of the vote, according to the AP.

Former Navy SEAL Jared Hudson and Alabama Secretary of State Steve Marshall are neck-and-neck competing for the second spot to see who will advance to the June runoff to compete against Moore. With an estimated 5,500 votes remaining to be counted as of this writing, Hudson leads Marshall with 123,531 votes compared to Marshall’s 118,228, according to the AP.

Trump Sweeps Northwest as Democrats Notch Wins in Pennsylvania

Elsewhere in the country, Trump-backed candidates enjoyed victories in Idaho, as incumbents Gov. Brad Little and Sen. Jim Risch won their primaries. In Oregon, Trump-backed incumbent Rep. Clifford Bentz won his primary handily.

Outside of Trump’s sphere of influence, Pennsylvania Democrats celebrated primary victories for a trio of candidates backed by Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro. Bob Harvie, Bob Brooks and Janelle Stelson all won their primaries and will advance to face GOP incumbents in districts the Democrats hope to flip in November.
