US EditionTrump-targeted GOP congressman Massie tours his Kentucky district with support from Sen. Rand Paul
Rand Paul supports Thomas Massie’s reelection amid President Trump’s opposition and a GOP primary challenge in Northern Kentucky’s conservative 4th District.
- Senator Rand Paul and Representative Thomas Massie hosted a forum in Greenup County on Thursday during a two-day swing through Massie's district.
- Massie faces a tough 2026 primary challenge endorsed by President Trump, who is urging a Republican to oust him, while Paul has endorsed Massie.
- Both lawmakers, sharing libertarian leanings, spoke to hundreds of voters on issues like government spending, breaking with Trump on some votes, and facing political attacks.
- Massie stated, “If I just give up, I will lose,” and stressed he never surrenders while Paul remarked, “Here at Beans, they fought.”
- The primary election in May will test whether Massie’s independent stance can withstand Trump-backed opposition and maintain support in a conservative Kentucky district.
