Trump Intensifies Campaign Against Rep. Massie

News summary

President Donald Trump has intensified his opposition against Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), threatening to lead a primary challenge due to Massie's refusal to support the GOP's government funding bill. Trump labeled Massie a 'grandstander' and compared him to former Rep. Liz Cheney, underlining Massie's consistent defiance on key fiscal matters. Despite Trump's pressure, Massie remains firm against the continuing resolution, which he believes misleads the public about future fiscal battles. Trump's efforts are aimed at unifying Republicans to avert a government shutdown, but Massie's dissent has heightened tensions within the slim GOP majority in the House. House Speaker Mike Johnson has avoided taking a firm stance against Massie, describing him as a 'thoughtful guy' despite their disagreements. This intra-party dispute emerges amidst broader GOP efforts to maintain government operations and curb Democratic policies.
