Polls have begun closing across Kentucky, including in the 4th District, where a closely watched Republican primary has drawn national attention. United States Representative Thomas Massie is facing a challenge from Ed Gallrein, a candidate backed by President Donald Trump.

The contest has become a focal point of broader political tensions within the party. Trump endorsed Gallrein after expressing frustration with Massie, including over Massie’s push to release files related to Jeffrey Epstein.

Massie, who has long opposed aid to Israel, faces significant opposition from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee and wealthy pro-Israel donors. He has framed the race as a referendum on 'whether Israel gets to buy seats in Congress' and has also faced accusations of antisemitism unrelated to his stance on Israel.
