Trump calls for GOP challenger to Rep. Boebert as she campaigns with Massie in Kentucky
Trump threatened to withdraw support for Boebert after she endorsed Massie, as $29 million in allied spending targets the Kentucky incumbent.
- On Friday, Republican Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert endorsed Republican Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie, breaking ranks with President Donald Trump just four days before Kentucky's primary election.
- Trump has aggressively campaigned to unseat Massie, calling him "disloyal" and endorsing Navy SEAL Gallrein in the Kentucky primary to remove the incumbent.
- Massie previously opposed Trump's June 2025 military strikes against Iran and voted against the "big, beautiful bill," a major federal spending package citing debt concerns.
- Boebert posted photos of herself with both men on Twitter to navigate the feud, stating she works with each to preserve freedom; Massie responded she is a "great friend."
- Defying direct pressure from Trump to withdraw her support, Boebert previously joined Massie in signing a discharge petition for the Epstein files, illustrating ongoing tensions between the president and legislative dissenters.
