Trump Targets Massie After Cassidy Primary Loss

Thomas Massie in Kentucky's Tuesday primary. The president posted on Truth Social that Massie is "the worst and most unreliable Republican Congressman in the history of our Country" and an "even bigger insult to our Nation than Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana." Cassidy finished third in Saturday's primary behind Letlow and state Treasurer John Fleming, who will meet in a June 27 runoff.

"Kentucky, get this LOSER out of politics in Tuesday's Election," the president wrote. " The president also criticized Massie for voting against tax cuts, the border wall, military funding, and law enforcement measures. "Bad Congressman Tom Massie voted against almost everything that is good," one post stated.

Massie has represented Kentucky's 4th Congressional District since 2012. The district is heavily Republican, making the primary the decisive contest. Trump's feud with Massie has intensified over the past year. The president called for Massie to be primaried after the congressman opposed a short-term government funding bill in March 2025 and pushed for the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files.

Trump also targeted Rep.

Lauren Boebert for supporting Massie, calling her "Weak Minded" and suggesting he would consider withdrawing his endorsement if a challenger entered the race against her in Colorado's 4th Congressional District. Sen. Rand Paul has pledged support for Massie against the Trump-backed challenger.

Massie told reporters that Boebert's primary is already closed and that Paul should focus on mending fences rather than burning bridges.
