Summary

Republican infighting is heating up again, and Thomas Massie is right in the middle of it. Joe Pags breaks down why Massie is suddenly taking heat, what it means for the GOP heading into key elections, and whether this kind of division could cost Republicans at the ballot box. He also looks at the biggest primaries to watch right now and asks the question many are wondering — is President Trump playing 4D chess behind the scenes as the party battles over its future?
