Trump-backed House candidate removes mentions of the president from his website

Ralph Alvarado once called himself an "America First fighter" and a "vocal supporter" of Trump on his site. Now he's highlighting his "independent leadership."

Ralph Alvarado is running with Donald Trump's endorsement in a House district in Kentucky that the president carried by double digits in 2024. But since winning the Republican primary in May, he has removed a series of pro-Trump messages and a photo of them standing together from the homepage of his campaign website, according to an NBC News review.
