Overview
- The White House says the president will appear in Hebron on Wednesday to tout his economic record and efforts to lower prices.
- Ed Gallrein, the Trump-endorsed challenger, will attend the Hebron event, while Rep. Thomas Massie will skip it due to a previously scheduled official engagement.
- Trump and senior administration officials have castigated Massie over repeated breaks with the president, with Trump labeling him the worst Republican.
- Massie has led GOP opposition to U.S. action in Iran, co-sponsoring a failed House bid to halt the war, while Gallrein backs the administration’s approach.
- Outside spending has intensified, with the Republican Jewish Coalition investing at least $2.8 million and a Trump-linked super PAC planning millions more as the May 19 primary nears.
