Massie hits back at Trump criticism: ‘I think that’s going to help my fundraising’
Massie said Trump’s criticism is helping him raise money as he faces a Trump-backed challenger in the Republican primary.
- On ABC's This Week, Representative Thomas Massie said President Donald Trump's repeated social media attacks are a "desperate" attempt to help his primary opponent, noting each mention provides a fundraising boost.
- Trump has targeted Massie for defying him on legislation, the Iran war, and Jeffrey Epstein files, aligning with a broader retribution campaign against Republicans who opposed the president.
- Throughout the weekend, Trump posted at least four social media attacks, calling Massie "The Worst Republican Congressman in History" and endorsing challenger Ed Gallrein, a former Navy SEAL.
- Polls show mixed results ahead of Tuesday's Kentucky primary, with some surveys indicating Massie leads while others show Gallrein with a lead, reflecting the race's uncertainty.
- Trump's campaign against Massie tests his hold on the Republican Party following two-term Republican Senator Bill Cassidy's loss in Louisiana; Trump also criticized Representative Lauren Boebert for supporting Massie.
