Massie and Cassidy Lose Primaries After Trump Backs Challengers

Thomas Massie lost Kentucky's Republican primary to Trump-backed Ed Gallrein, and Bill Cassidy finished third in Louisiana's Republican Senate primary. Left-leaning outlets emphasize Trump's campaign against Massie and consider whether defeating Republican dissenters could backfire, while also treating the result as a test of his influence. Center outlets focus on Trump's influence in GOP primaries and the fallout, including Senate Republicans' response and whether departing lawmakers may challenge his agenda. Right-leaning outlets stress Trump's strength in primaries and present Massie's race as a test of whether the Tea Party's small-government politics survived his rise.
