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.’”

Barrons of New York thinks Kentucky is a bad bad place.
Barrons... of New York. LOL
He stands with Democrats and h
Hamas, not his “constituents.” Or they may be gullible enough to fall for his lies. We shall see.
There’s something very wrong with Kentucky... Oh, and F**k you Massie.
Most likely.
Please learn to size your pics. It’s really quite simple. Look it up.
He’s a Huckster. He Voted and passed Joe’s crazy spending.
Probably Chi-com funded. He voted against a bill banning Toxic Chinese Solar Panels. Joined the Dems. Loves the Squad. He’s protected Schiff (China connection).
Massie>Trump. I’d side with Massie over Trump any day and believe most voters in his district feel the same way.
No, he is a classical liberal like John Stuart Mill and Adam Smith. He is for economic and personal liberty, limited government, a fiscal responsibility.
Stop it you have no clue
He’s 100% authentic. He doesn’t stand with Hamas or terrorists what a load of baloney. He opposes foreign aid etc.
He is funded by a lot of small donors on twitter. Go look it up
Funny isnt it
And he’s breaking records for fundraising
The keyword battle in this thread is worth reading. According to Wiki Massie is a Methodist. I see him as a male version of Ayn Coulter. Doing counter wise things to remain the center of attention.
The keyword abuse should stop. I have a thick skin most of it is aimed at me!
Kentucky Republicans will send this ego-tripping clown, maverick, packing. As long as they are given a better Republican to vote in the primaries.
If you were on instagram or tiktok, I’d call you ragebait. Here you’re simply misguided.

Well I guess we’ll see when the election rolls around.
Pretty sure his western district boundary stops at the eastern edge of the Jefferson County border which is metro-Louisville. The 3rd congressional district is almost to the boundary, Jefferson County/Louisville, which has Kentucky’s only leftwing Democrat congressman, Morgan McGarvey.
