Secretary of War Pete Hegseth is scheduled to join Ed Gallrein, the Trump-endorsed Republican primary candidate for Kentucky’s 4th Congressional District at a May 18 event in the state, a day before voters head to the polls in Gallrein’s race against incumbent Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.).
The event, hosted by America First Works (AFW), will “provide a unique chance for the American people to hear from leaders of the America First movement and patriots who share the values that made our nation great,” AFW president Ashley Hayek said in a May 16 statement.
