Trump Calls for Primary Challenge Against Rep. Massie

President Trump has called for a primary challenge against Republican Rep. Thomas Massie from Kentucky, criticizing him for opposing a continuing resolution to fund the government. Trump labeled Massie as a 'grandstander' and compared him to Liz Cheney, suggesting that the Kentucky congressman is out of touch with party leadership and principles. Massie, known for his fiscal conservatism, has stood firm against the spending bill, arguing it perpetuates national debt without necessary cuts. He responded to Trump's threats by asserting that his voting decisions are guided by principles rather than pressure from the White House. Meanwhile, with a slim Republican majority in the House, Massie's opposition could jeopardize the passage of the spending bill if other Republicans do not rally in support. Trump's remarks have sparked a strong backlash from some Republicans who defend Massie's position.
