Rep. Thomas Massie says breaks with Trump were ‘absolutely worth it’
Massie said he will keep opposing Trump-aligned priorities after losing a primary, calling the break with the president worth it and warning of party fallout.
- On Sunday, Outgoing Rep. Thomas Massie told NBC's Kristen Welker during "Meet the Press" that challenging Trump was "absolutely worth it for me," despite losing his Kentucky House seat last Tuesday.
- Last Tuesday, the seven-term congressman lost his primary to retired Navy SEAL Ed Gallrein in the most expensive House primary in American history, one week after Louisiana Sen. Bill Cassidy also lost re-election following Trump's endorsement of his opponent.
- Massie credited his bipartisan effort with Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna to release Jeffrey Epstein files as his "biggest crime" against the swamp, while also opposing Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which added about $3.8 trillion to the deficit.
- Predicting significant November losses, the outgoing Republican warned the GOP has alienated fiscal hawks, Make America Healthy Again supporters, and foreign policy noninterventionists—coining "Trump Disappointment Syndrome" to describe right-wing disaffection that will damage party prospects.
- Last week, Senate Republicans appeared uneasy about the $1 billion White House ballroom security funding, signaling potential breaks from Trump on spending priorities, though Massie acknowledged his principled stand was "absolutely worth it for me" personally.
