Today’s notice: Congressional Republicans on the biggest House primary of the year. Georgia Republicans look for a U.S. Senate hero. The president has a suggestion for senators frustrated with the parliamentarian: fire her. Democrats dump a ton of money on STEM candidates. And: More reporting on Trump’s stocks.

THE LATEST

Predicting a MAGA win in Kentucky: Republicans on the Hill are for the most part expecting Rep. Thomas Massie to be out of their political lives soon. The polls have been tight, but at this point many lawmakers think a Massie win would be a surprise.

How do they feel about it? Don’t expect a lot of tears from Massie’s colleagues in the House. Rep. Don Bacon, who has also come under Donald Trump’s scrutiny, said he doesn’t wish the congressman any harm but “I hate hearing his campaign be so anti-Israel and anti-Jew,” he told NOTUS’ Kadia Goba.

“I am for Trump!” said one Republican, who wanted to be quoted on background, “because I have to work with Massie for 6 more months.”
