Cincinnati — President Donald Trump toured an Ohio pharmaceutical plant and campaigned in nearby Hebron, Kentucky, Wednesday, endorsing Ed Gallrein in a primary challenge to Rep. Thomas Massie. He promoted administration efforts to lower prescription drug prices and argued his policies could steady the economy amid market dislocation tied to U.S. and Israeli military action against Iran. The White House described Massie as unconstructive; Trump has targeted the seven-term congressman for opposing key administration initiatives. The visit included stops at Thermo Fisher and a logistics facility and drew several Kentucky Republican figures. Based on 6 articles reviewed and supporting research.
