Will Kentucky’s MAGA Oust Massie?; Judge Limits Mangione Evidence for Prosecutors

from Here's the Scoop · host Laura Jarrett, Julie Tsirkin, Stephanie Gosk

The Republican primary in Kentucky is shaping up to be one of the most consequential races this election season, as President Donald Trump seeks to unseat Rep. Thomas Massie over his opposition to the Iran war and vote against the “big, beautiful bill.” NBC News Correspondent Julie Tsirkin explains why Massie is one of the biggest targets on Trump’s revenge tour against his political rivals and why MAGA voters might be split over his handpicked candidate. Then, a major ruling in the state murder trial of Luigi Mangione, the man accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. NBC News Correspondent Stephanie Gosk explains how the judge’s decision on admissible evidence could affect Mangione’s trial when it kicks off this fall. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
