Thomas Massie Campaigns Against Trump's Debt: Expanded Spending Beyond Biden's Budget'
"I'd love to stand here and tell the American people, we can cut your taxes and we can increase spending, and everything's going to be just fine. But I can't do that because I'm here to deliver a dose of reality. This bill dramatically increases deficits in the near term, but promises our government will be fiscally responsible five years from now. Where have we heard that before? How do you bind a future Congress to these promises? This bill is a debt bomb ticking."
"1/20/25 Republicans took control of White House + Senate + House. They expanded spending beyond Biden's budget, causing U.S. debt to increase $2.7 trillion since then. I voted against this excessive spending and that's why the swamp wants me gone. I keep my promises!"
"Trump traveled to Kentucky in mid-March to boost Massie's primary opponent, Ed Gallrein. The primary is scheduled for May 19th, and Trump has been savagely attacking Massie in recent months ahead of the vote."
Rep. Thomas Massie is facing a primary challenge from Ed Gallrein, endorsed by Trump. Massie has criticized his party for expanding spending and increasing the national debt. He previously opposed Trump's Big Beautiful Bill, warning it would lead to significant deficits. Massie claims his opposition to excessive spending is why he faces backlash from party leadership. He emphasizes his commitment to fiscal responsibility and maintaining promises to voters, contrasting his stance with the actions of his party since gaining control of the government.
