President Donald Trump and his high political advisers are plotting an aggressive push to oust one in every of his most persistent Republican adversaries: Rep. Thomas Massie. And House GOP leaders received’t stand in Trump’s method.
Speaker Mike Johnson and his management group are sending their clearest indicators up to now that their conservative colleague should fend for himself as Trump’s allies put together to dump thousands and 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 assist his colleague. Instead, the speaker admonished Massie for undercutting his social gathering’s agenda – because the libertarian-minded Republican intensifies his livid battle to drive the discharge of the Jeffrey Epstein recordsdata and derides Trump’s signature home coverage achievement for driving up the nationwide debt.
