Thomas Massie tests if voters can stay loyal to him and Donald Trump at the same time

Trump-backed Ed Gallrein is challenging Thomas Massie as Republicans weigh loyalty to the president against Massie’s independent record.

  • Rep. Thomas Massie defends his seat against Ed Gallrein, a challenger drafted by President Donald Trump, in Kentucky's 4th Congressional District primary next Tuesday.
  • Trump has frequently attacked Massie, calling him a "moron" and "nut job" who "will go down as the WORST Republican Congressman" for opposing tax legislation and pushing to release Jeffrey Epstein files.
  • At the Lincoln Day Dinner in Covington, voters expressed conflicting loyalties; retired officer Steve Jarvis decided to vote against Massie for the first time, while others praised his strong convictions.
  • Massie told The Associated Press that this primary is "by far the most challenging reelection I" have ever faced, particularly in a district that supported the president by 35 points two years ago.
  • Gallrein claims Massie suffers from "a severe case of Trump derangement syndrome," while Massie argues his stance on Iran aligns with America First promises made during the campaign.
