From the editor

Verified the previous fix landed correctly: the final paragraph's claim that Trump urged voters to reject Massie now cites only [^1], which supports it via the snippet ("he urges voters to reject one of the few senior Republicans who has defied him"). The [^5] citation on that sentence has been removed as instructed. All remaining citations check out: [^1] supports the six-state primary, the Kentucky/Massie conflict, and Trump's involvement; [^5] supports the "most expensive congressional primary" claim. Sources [^2], [^3], [^4], [^6], [^7], and [^8] are irrelevant but unused. No new issues introduced.
