## Resource

In this episode of "The John Doyle Show," John is joined by producer Blake to discuss the tremendous defeat of Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie (R) by his Trump-endorsed challenger, Ed Gallrein. The latest in an onslaught of anti-Trump Republican politicians being ousted from office, this election serves as further proof that MAGA is, in fact, not dead (or even close). Trump's dominance over the Republican Party is stronger than ever, and Massie's loss serves as perhaps the greatest setback to the American Left since November 2024. Learn more about your ad choices.
