Episode 142 of The Backlash is a full-scale election night breakdown of the 2026 primaries — from the battle for the soul of the Republican Party nationally, to the political civil war unfolding right here in Idaho.
After spending a full week embedded with Congressman Thomas Massie and his campaign in Kentucky, David shares what he saw firsthand on the ground: the rallies, the grassroots energy, the mood among voters, and what the media completely missed about the race. From walking through Massie’s property and meeting supporters face-to-face, to watching the machine politics of Washington descend on Kentucky in real time, this episode offers an inside look at one of the most important political fights in America.
As tens of millions of dollars flooded into races across the country, the question became impossible to ignore: is the Republican Party still controlled by “We The People,” or by billionaire donors, lobbyists, and foreign influence networks like AIPAC?
Then we turn to Idaho, where major establishment figures were defeated, North Idaho legislators held the line, and the grassroots insurgency continued gaining ground — but the fight is far from over. While many America First candidates secured key victories, control of the Kootenai County Republican Central Committee now hangs in the balance after precinct committeeman races resulted in a deadlocked 50-50 split board.
Who actually controls the Idaho GOP? What happens next in Kootenai County? And what do these election results tell us about the future of populism, nationalism, and grassroots politics in America?
This is your complete 2026 Primary Election Roundup — from Kentucky to North Idaho.
