Daily Mail's White House Correspondent Jon Michael explains how Donald Trump is still tightening his grip on the Republican Party - despite falling approval ratings, growing Republican anxiety over the midterms, and mounting backlash over the war in Iran. The clearest example yet? Kentucky Congressman Thomas Massie just lost his primary after becoming one of the few Republicans willing to publicly break with Trump on key issues including Iran, government spending and the Epstein files. Trump-backed challenger Ed Gallrein defeated Massie in what became the most expensive House primary race in U.S. history — sending a clear message to Republicans ahead of November: crossing Trump could cost you your seat. So even as Trump faces political headwinds nationally, his influence inside the GOP may actually be stronger than ever. 👀 #Trump #Republicans #GOP #Midterms #ThomasMassie
