A Trump Dissenter Fights for His Political Life
Tuesday, 19 May, 2026
In Kentucky today, amid record-low approval ratings, President Trump is asking Republican primary voters to reject Representative Thomas Massie, who has broken with Mr. Trump on a handful of votes. Instead, he wants them to elect his handpicked challenger. Robert Draper, who covers domestic politics for The Times, and “The Daily” producer Caitlin O’Keefe, travel to Kentucky to cover what has become the most expensive House primary in American history. Guest: Robert Draper, a Washington, D.C.-based journalist for The New York Times. Caitlin O’Keefe, an audio producer on “The Daily.” Background reading: In Kentucky, fidelity to Mr. Trump is once again on the ballot.
