Thomas Massie not ruling out US Senate bid, but bullish on Cameron’s odds
Lexington Herald Leader ^ | Sep 22 | By Austin Horn

Posted on 09/22/2025 9:10:23 AM PDT by RandFan

Rep. Thomas Massie is certainly in the spotlight. Could he also be on the statewide ballot?

The congressman is not denying the possibility, telling the Herald-Leader he “wouldn’t rule it out.” Massie said in an interview Friday he thinks he would win the race for Sen. Mitch McConnell’s seat, particularly if former Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron switched over to run for Massie’s seat — a possibility Cameron hase thoroughly denied.

Massie likes his chances against the other two contenders for McConnell’s seat, Rep. Andy Barr and Lexington entrepreneur Nate Morris.

“I mean, we’ve got until January to decide, and if you polled that race with me, Nate Morris and Andy Barr, I’m pretty sure I would be the winner at this point. But it’s kind of a ridiculous proposition that Daniel Cameron would get out of a Senate race that he’s winning,” Massie said.

Both Cameron’s campaign and members of President Donald Trump’s political team have denied the possibility that Cameron would drop out and run for Massie’s seat.

Candidates running for office in 2026, when Sen. Mitch McConnell’s seat comes open, must file by Jan. 9, 2026.

The fix is in.........it’s either a RINO, or another Democrat. Mail-in votes + FRAUD assure it.

Well, he’s been useless in the House, so maybe he is qualified to be useless in the Senate at a higher salary.

I hope he goes for it. We need more Massies and less Murkowski’s Grahams Cornyns and Romneys.

If Cameron ran for Massie’s seat with Trump’s backing it means Thomas would finally be out the House.

He wont be defeated but he will run for U.S. Senate.

Would Kentucky elect him state-wide? I think they might!

Massie’s political career ends with his current term.

He, with his anti-Trump grandstanding has ensured this outcome.

Rep. Andy Barr and Lexington entrepreneur Nate Morris will split the base vote and that traitor Massie backs in. The same BS that kept McTraitor, Flake, Murk, Linda in. Will we never learn? The split the vote tactic is the GOPe go to tool to screw us every time.

The poll question was: 'Do you have a positive or negative image of the following politicians?'

for massie, the % of people that don't know about him is %64

which means massie is a nobody, that few know or care enough about to care to have any appreciable opinion of him

but we're suppose to be fooled into thinking massie has a chance of winning a senate seat....

“Do nothing”

Massie is the only member of the house to author a bill to abolish the department of Education in this session.

This bill is not an indictment of Massie that the bill went nowhere. This bill is an indictment of the remaining 534 members that the bill went nowhere.

-

Massie is the only member of the house to author a bill to audit the federal reserve in this session.

This bill is not an indictment of Massie that the bill went nowhere. This bill is an indictment of the remaining 534 members of congress that the bill went nowhere.

The phrase “do nothing” refers to 534 members. It excludes Massie. If we had a do something congress the Department of Education would have already been abolished and the Fed would’ve already been audited.

Turds of a feather and all that.
