Can a Republican win an election while at war with Trump?

Kentucky congressman Thomas Massie is in a close race to hold on to his seat against a Trump-backed challenger. The two face off in the Republican primary on 19 May.

The BBC’s Anthony Zurcher explains how Massie’s open defiance of some of President Donald Trump’s biggest priorities, like voting against the ‘One Big Beautiful Bill’, as well as condemning the war in Iran, has put him at odds with the president and may have made him vulnerable to a primary challenge.

The congressman gained national attention for spearheading Congress’ push to force the Department of Justice to release the Epstein files.
