Trump’s Revenge Drive Targets Massie in Kentucky Primary
TL;DR Summary
Trump is pressuring Rep. Thomas Massie in Kentucky’s GOP primary as part of a monthlong revenge tour to punish dissent, backing Ed Gallrein to unseat Massie. A Massie loss would deepen intraparty fractures ahead of the lame-duck period, while a Massie win could embolden other critics. Cassidy, after a concession, signals no immediate challenge to Trump, though his stance on future votes remains unclear, and Democrats are blocking bipartisan bills like the SCORE Act, highlighting ongoing partisan battles.
