NOW TO OUR COMMITMENT 2026 COVERAGE. THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR U.S. HOUSE MADE THEIR FINAL PUSH TO KENTUCKY VOTERS. WE HAVE LIVE TEAM COVERAGE OF THE ELECTION FOR YOU TONIGHT, INCLUDING WHAT VOTERS NEED TO KNOW BEFORE HEADING TO THE POLLS TOMORROW. WE BEGIN TONIGHT WITH ALEXIS MATHEWS IN NORTHERN KENTUCKY, WHERE AND THOMAS MASSIE STOPPED AHEAD OF TOMORROW’S PRIMARY. HI, ALEXIS. PROBABLY BLEW UP THE PLACE. VICKI. RICK. GOOD EVENING. ONE OF THOSE STOPS INCLUDED A RARE APPEARANCE BY A SITTING WAR SECRETARY TODAY. PETE HAS SAID PUBLICLY ENDORSED RYAN, BUT HIS CHALLENGER, THOMAS MASSIE, APPEARED TO BE UNFAZED. NOW IN THE HOTBED RACE FOR KENTUCKY’S FOURTH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT, REPUBLICAN CHALLENGERS ED O’BRIEN AND THOMAS MASSIE MADE A FINAL PLEA TO VOTERS.

THAT’S WHY I’M PROUD HERE TO STAND WITH ED, THE DEFENSE DEPARTMENT TYPICALLY REMAINS IMPARTIAL TO MAINTAIN THE MILITARY’S APOLITICAL IMAGE. HECK, SETH, WHILE CHAMPIONING FOR RYAN, ALSO TOOK SHOTS AT HIS OPPONENT. TOO OFTEN, THOMAS MASSIE IS ACTING LIKE HIS JOB IS TO STAND APART FROM THE MOVEMENT THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP LEADS INSTEAD OF STRENGTHENING IT. WHEN PRESIDENT TRUMP NEEDS BACKUP, MASSIE WANTS TO DEBATE MASSIE, ALSO IN NORTHERN KENTUCKY. MONDAY, DOES NOT APPEAR CONCERNED WITH WHO BACKS HIS CHALLENGER. THE INCUMBENT AFFIRMS THAT HIS SEAT CANNOT BE BOUGHT WHILE LEANING ON TRANSPARENCY THROUGH THE EPSTEIN FILES ACT. HE HELPED PASS, AND HOW HE WILL CONTINUE TO CALL OUT THE TRILLION DOLLAR DEBT. OUR NATION IS EXPERIENCING. THE PRESIDENT’S
