CORROBORATED
A web search result explicitly states that the president 'unseated a top Republican foe Tuesday in Kentucky', and Wikipedia confirms Thomas Massie is the Republican representative for Kentucky's 4th district. The combination of these sources supports the claim of a Trump-backed candidate defeating a critic in Kentucky.
