President Donald Trump's power over Republican primaries is about to face one of its clearest tests of the 2026 cycle, with five contests in May set to show whether his endorsement can still punish enemies, lift allies, and settle crowded GOP fights. The first test comes Tuesday in Indiana, where Trump and his allies are targeting Republican state lawmakers who resisted his push for a mid-decade congressional redistricting plan. The fight has turned state legislative primaries into a national loyalty test, with Trump-aligned groups spending millions against incumbents who refused to redraw maps in a way that could have helped Republicans protect their House majority.
