The primary elections held across several states showcased Trump's continued dominance and influence over the GOP. US administration-endorsed candidates scored clean sweeps or secured top positions across primaries in several decisive states, such as Alabama, Georgia, Idaho, Oregon, and Pennsylvania.

In the most high-profile race, Trump-backed challenger Ed Gallrein defeated incumbent Representative Thomas Massie in Kentucky's House primary. Massie had been one of Trump's most prominent internal party critics. Representative Andy Barr, who also received Trump's endorsement, comfortably won the Republican primary for the Senate seat being vacated by retiring Senator Mitch McConnell. In Georgia, Trump's favored candidate for lieutenant governor, Burt Jones, advanced to a June runoff alongside Rick Jackson. This successfully locked out Trump's long-time political rival, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, who finished a distant third.

These results follow the primary defeat of another major Trump critic, Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, establishing what political analysts describe as a successful "retribution tour" solidifying Trump's control over the party's direction.

The state of Israel

Ed Gallrein, Andy Barr, Burt Jones, Rick Jackson, all four of these Republican politicians strongly support the State of Israel, aligned with the mainstream, pro-Israel platform of today's Republican Party.

Ed Gallrein is a former Navy SEAL who centered much of his campaign on his staunch allyship with Israel. Backed heavily by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) and the Republican Jewish Coalition, he successfully ousted the eight-term incumbent Thomas Massie, whom Gallrein and Donald Trump heavily criticized for consistently voting against U.S. aid to Israel.

Andy Barr has a long-standing, vocal record of support for Israel and went as far as introducing amendments to block federal funds from any organization supporting the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel.

Burt Jones authored and celebrated resolutions condemning attacks against Israel, and frequently marks the anniversary of Israel’s founding. He has partnered with Israeli officials to pass anti-bias and anti-antisemitism bills in Georgia.

Rick Jackson is a billionaire healthcare executive who openly broadcasts his pro-Israel alignment. He has participated in legislative advocacy events, such as Israel Advocacy Day on Capitol Hill, meeting with Israeli ambassadors and pastors to push for continued, unwavering U.S. congressional support for the Jewish state.

European Wokists are sad

The European mainstream media has shown monthly a consistent tendency to view Donald Trump critically. This editorial stance reflects broad European concern over his policies on trans-Atlantic alliances and trade and moral liberty. The European political establishment has now significant reason to be dissatisfied with these primary results, as the advancing Republican candidates—Ed Gallrein, Andy Barr, Burt Jones, and Rick Jackson—champion highly conservative, America First, and pro-corporate platforms. All of these candidates represent a move further away from European ideological goals / agendas that do not center on God, nor on the importance of Jerusalem, nor on the traditional family, nor on the glorious history of their own nations, nor even on the clear distinction between men and women.

Recent election results indicate the Republican Party campaigned against "woke" ideology has won. Many European supporters of progressive, or "woke," socio-political movements have reacted with sadness, concern, and gloom to the Republican Party's election victories.

"Progressives" widely view the Republican platform—including its stated goals in Project 2025 to dismantle Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) policies and restrict LGBTQ+ rights—as a threat to what they call "global human rights". Jews and Israel are never part of the ideals and "human rights" championed by these "progressives" who risk being remembered in history as terrorists, after demonstrating that they are capable of using all means—including robbers, saboteurs, murderers, and corrupt journalists—to utterly brutalize the good name of the Jewish state and the thriving Jewish communities in the diaspora.
