Boebert labels Trump ‘my president’ after Massie loss
Thomas Massie lost his Kentucky primary, a result reflecting Donald Trump's significant influence in GOP elections and the party's ongoing consolidation around him.
- Representative Thomas Massie lost his Kentucky primary to Trump-endorsed Ed Gallrein on Wednesday, concluding the most expensive House primary in U.S. history with $32 million in ad spending.
- President Donald Trump targeted Massie for breaking with him on several issues and threatened to endorse challengers against Colorado Representative Lauren Boebert for campaigning for Massie.
- Massie attempted to defend his record, noting he voted with Trump 90% of the time on major bills like the SAVE Act. Former Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene blamed the Epstein Files release, claiming the party is "ruled by the Epstein class."
- Following Massie's defeat, Boebert logged onto social media Tuesday evening to praise Trump, appearing to attempt damage control after Trump threatened to endorse challengers against her seat.
- The primary loss illustrates MAGA consolidation within the GOP as 36 House Republicans and seven senators choose not to seek reelection, creating a growing class of members with little left to lose politically.
