"According to a new poll from Quantus Insights, Massie holds a nearly double-digit lead over his Republican primary opponent Trump-backed Ed Gallrein, with the incumbent pulling in 46.8 percent compared to Gallrein's 37.7 percent."
"Trump completely tore into Massie, stating, 'We gotta get rid of this loser. This guy is bad. He's disloyal to the Republican Party. He's disloyal to the people of Kentucky. And most importantly, he is disloyal to the United States of America.'"
"Should Massie prevail, other Republicans who have been afraid to go against Trump on any issue could be moved to speak out more frequently, as a Massie victory would show it is possible for a vocal Trump-critic to survive a well-funded primary challenge backed by the White House."
Rep. Thomas Massie holds a significant lead over Trump-backed Ed Gallrein in recent polling, with Massie at 46.8% and Gallrein at 37.7%. Another poll shows Massie ahead 52.4% to 47.6%. Gallrein, a former Navy SEAL, has received full support from Trump, who has publicly criticized Massie. Massie has opposed Trump on various issues, including the budget and foreign policy. A victory for Massie could encourage other Republicans to voice dissent against Trump, and he has hinted at a potential gubernatorial run in Kentucky.
