President Donald Trump and his prime political advisers are plotting an aggressive push to oust certainly one of his most persistent Republican adversaries: Rep. Thomas Massie. And House GOP leaders gained’t stand in Trump’s approach.
Speaker Mike Johnson and his management group are sending their clearest alerts thus far that their conservative colleague must fend for himself as Trump’s allies put together to dump hundreds of thousands into Massie’s district to purge him from the Northeastern Kentucky district he’s represented for almost 13 years.
In interviews with CNN, 5 members of House GOP management declined to supply their backing for Massie’s reelection bid – and Johnson wouldn’t say if he’d help his colleague. Instead, the speaker admonished Massie for undercutting his social gathering’s agenda – because the libertarian-minded Republican intensifies his livid battle to pressure the discharge of the Jeffrey Epstein information and derides Trump’s signature home coverage achievement for driving up the nationwide debt.
