Massie Eyes 2028 Campaign After Trump-Backed Challenger Triumph

Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie filed FEC paperwork to run in 2028 after losing the GOP primary to Trump-backed challenger Ed Gallrein, saying he hasn’t decided which office to pursue but intends to raise funds to support his political operation. Trump publicly ridiculed Massie as a “loser,” while Massie suggested he’ll stay engaged in politics—potentially from outside or inside government—after a farm‑life breather and a vow to keep fighting Washington’s battles.
