Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) vowed that President Trump’s threats to primary him will “backfire tremendously” and ultimately lead to Republicans losing their House majority in the 2026 midterms.
“Well, they’ve spent $1.8 million against me so far in my congressional district. I think it has had very little effect, but they are trying to beat up on me to keep everyone else in line here and I think it is not working. I think what’s going to happen, this will be a referendum on whether the executive branch controls the legislative branch,” Massie said during a Tuesday interview with NBC News.
“I am going to prevail. What they are going to find out is it will embolden members of Congress here to go with their heart, with their minds, with their constituents and not just toe the party line,” Massie told NBC’s Sahil Kapur.
Trump’s political operation has launched a targeted campaign seeking to oust Massie, who has regularly criticized the administration and refused to support its legislative agenda.
Kapur asked Massie if he thought the president’s effort “will backfire in the next two years.”
“I think it’s going to backfire tremendously,” Massie said. “Number one, I think they are wasting millions of dollars against me and they are going to lose the majority because of that, but number two, I think it will embolden Republicans who are right now quietly agreeing with me, but saying ‘I am afraid of winning my primary, let’s see if you can win yours, Massie.’”

Why is Massie always on CNN and NBC?
He’s a RINO.
I always thought he’d be a good successor to the turtle until now.
He’s not a RINO in the McCain/Romney/Chaffee sense. He’s a libertarian of sorts that votes no on just about everything, especially Trump’s stuff
Maybe because the blowhard just voted for the largest tax increase in US history.
You should be asking what needs to be covered up as it relates to Epstein that Johnson would shut the entire House business down a week early
It is really just incredible.
Does he really believe the cover up isn’t going to have voter ramifications
Congress is already criticized for doing nothing and being on vacation most of the year.
“...this will be a referendum on whether the executive branch controls the legislative branch...”. There’s proof of his rinocity. Hey dumbass, he’s the leader of your party, he should control the legislature (FYI, your side is in power).
Betrayal.
Loyalty means something. Massey is a disloyal grandstander. I am so angry at him that when primary season comes around I plan to drive the 4 1/2 hours from Huntsville to Louisville and help to canvas to make sure that his ass gets primary out.
You really are obsessed with getting Trump on Epstein. It’s not gonna work but eventually you’ll find something else.
I will be donating to The MAGA candidate. Massie likes to vote with the democrats and then pretend that it’s for “conservative” reasons. What a fraudster.
Because Massie is a POS. Does Trump normally go after conservatives? No. Just phony controlled opposition ones.
Funny how your boy Massie is suddenly obsessed with Epstein.
Massie thinks very highly of himself.
Because Massie is obstructing Trump’s agenda & fomenting discord.
You seem to think Trump would be implicated in any Epstein client list disclosure.
Do you, democrat?
It’s something else, not Trump.
Release the damned list.
Massie will not be losing his primary. Nor the general election. His victory will mean nothing in terms of Trump’s influence on the party.
He’s not swamp. It all comes down to that. Massie is not swamp and the swamp hates him. Trump is not swamp but he hates him too.
There were 22 races in the house determined in 2024 by less than 3%. The majority of those were Democrat wins and one was Bacon in Nebraska who has already announced his retirement.
Holding the house will be very difficult.
