Previewing the Republican Congressional Primary in Kentucky

from RealClearPolitics Podcast · host RealClear Media

Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan, and Carl Cannon discuss Tuesday’s Republican congressional primary in Kentucky’s fourth district, where President Donald Trump has made an extraordinary effort to defeat incumbent Republican Thomas Massey. Also, following Trump’s endorsement of a challenger in the GOP primary for Senate in Louisiana, Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) lost his party’s nomination this weekend, placing third. Then, J. Peder Zane, editor in Chief of RealClear Investigations and co-host of the RealClear Investigations podcast, talks to the guys about two recent stories from the site: a look at the closure of a Wisconsin farm that raised beagles for animal testing, and how Medicaid spending on family members who act as caregivers for elderly and disabled relatives grew to a $50 billion program, despite never being approved by Congress. Then finally, they discuss former Vice President Kamala Harris’ list of “no bad ideas” on a podcast last week. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
