Kentucky is now the epicenter of Republican infighting ahead of next year’s elections, from a White House-backed primary challenge against a sitting congressmember to a tense Senate primary.
As one Trumpworld operative put it: “It’s a Kentucky fried food fight.”
President Donald Trump’s war with Rep. Thomas Massie is the headliner — at least so far. The White House has been trying to make an example of Massie, who has opposed just about every one of Trump’s top legislative priorities. Earlier this week, a MAGA super PAC run by Chris LaCivita — Trump’s 2024 co-campaign manager — started a million-dollar TV ad buy in Massie’s district, hitting him for voting against the “big, beautiful bill,” a source with knowledge of the ad buy told NOTUS.
