The Latest: When Results Are Expected in Tuesday's Primaries that Will Test Trump's Sway over GOP

Trump is backing challengers in several states as Republicans who defied him face primary tests and early results show his endorsement still carries weight.

  • Voters in Kentucky, Alabama, Idaho, Oregon, and Pennsylvania head to polls today in a pivotal test of President Donald Trump's continued influence over Republican primary voters.
  • In Kentucky, U.S. Rep. Thomas Massie faces a Trump-backed challenger after breaking with the president over military intervention in Iran and pushing for release of Jeffrey Epstein-related files.
  • Billionaire Rick Jackson has invested more than $83 million of his own fortune in Georgia's Republican gubernatorial primary, where he faces Trump-backed Lt. Gov. Burt Jones in a costly race.
  • Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro is testing his political clout by backing specific House candidates, including Scranton Mayor Paige Cognetti, in efforts to flip Republican-held seats.
  • Alabama voters face potential confusion today as ballots in four congressional districts will not count, following a recent Supreme Court decision that prompted Republican-led efforts to redraw district boundaries.
