[68463] Strategic victory for the pro-Israel camp: Ed Gallrein defeated Thomas Massie in Kentucky

Strategic victory for the pro-Israel camp in the Kentucky primary

A significant victory was recorded tonight for the pro-Israel camp and President Donald Trump in the primary elections in the US state of Kentucky. The candidate Ed Gallrein, a US Navy veteran, defeated incumbent Congressman Thomas Massie in the battle for the Republican nomination in the state's 8th District.

According to a report on the Abu Ali Express channel (which takes a critical line toward Iran and Hamas and is supportive of Trump and Israel's positions), Gallrein enjoyed intensive support from Trump and the AIPAC organization. The report notes that this was one of the most expensive primary battles in the US, with an estimated $32 million invested in the campaigns. According to Abu Ali Express, Gallrein won with a result of 54% compared to 46%.

The channel 🔅 Political Arena ‼️ also reported on the event and called it a "tremendous victory for Trump and the pro-Israel camp." According to the channel, the loser, Thomas Massie, is considered an "anti-Israel" congressman and a political rival of Trump within the Republican Party.

This victory is expected to strengthen Trump's hold on the Republican Party ahead of the congressional elections to be held in October. Given the fact that Kentucky is considered a staunch Republican stronghold, Gallrein's chances of being elected to Congress in the general election are estimated to be very high.
