Good morning and welcome to way too early, the show that's raising a glass to one of America's iconic beer brands.

We'll toast the end of an era just ahead in business. I'm Jackie Alamani in for Ali Vitale on this Wednesday, May 20th.

Let's start with the news. Republican, Congressman Thomas Massey of Kentucky, one of President Trump's top primary targets, has lost his reelection race.

Massey was defeated last night by Trump-backed former Navy CEO Ed Galrain in what ended up becoming the most expensive congressional primary race in history.

Over $25 million was spent between the two campaigns. Massey's loss was a major

victory for the president, who had frequently insulted the congressman after he broke with the

administration on a number of key issues, most notably his lead role in pushing for the

release of the Epstein files. Congressman Massey spoke to his supporters last night following his concession,

promising to continue to be an independent voice in Washington.

Welcome to the most expensive congressional primary ever in the 250-year history of this country. It's not just the most

expensive. This thing went on longer than Vietnam. It started nine months ago, and they didn't even have a

candidate, and they decided they want to take me out. To start out as an election, and it turned into a movement, I mean, we stirred up something.

There is a yearning in this country for somebody who will vote for principals over party. You all don't like bullies and I love you for it.

We ran a race that you can be proud of.

You have to apologize to nobody tomorrow for anything you did.

And we kept smiling the whole time. When I was called a moron at the prayer breakfast, I said,

I'm glad I'm in his prayers. Just that would be my advice to you all. Don't dig in, don't get mad.

Don't even try to get even.

Just stay on your course.

Get our stuff done.

Get the things you care about done.

We weren't really running against Ed Gowryne.
