Trump takes anti-Massie crusade to Kentucky in stark escalation
President Trump escalated his feud with GOP Rep. Thomas Massie by visiting Massie's Kentucky district on Wednesday, calling him "disloyal" and a "nut job." During the visit, Trump brought Massie's primary challenger, Ed Gallrein, on stage and endorsed him, calling Gallrein "a real hero." This marks the first time Trump's political organization has targeted a Republican incumbent for defeat this cycle in person. The intensity of Trump's anti-Massie efforts means the primary outcome will be scored as a test of Trump's influence. Massie did not immediately respond to Trump's remarks but stated his constituents are questioning Trump's stance on Iran and its economic impact.

After Trump's call for Massie defeat, outside groups spending $5M to try ousting him
President Trump has called for the defeat of GOP Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky, whom he labeled the "worst Republican congressman" in Congress' history, prompting outside groups to spend $5 million trying to oust the incumbent in the May primary. Massie, a libertarian-leaning Republican who has frequently clashed with party leadership, faces his most serious primary challenge yet as Trump's public opposition energizes his opponents. The massive spending against Massie represents one of the most expensive intra-party battles this cycle, with Trump's endorsement power being tested in a district he won decisively. Massie has built a reputation as a fiscal conservative who often votes against his own party's leadership, including opposition to some spending measures and foreign aid packages. The primary will serve as a key indicator of Trump's continued influence over Republican voters and his ability to purge GOP lawmakers who have crossed him.
