Republican Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky has not been shy to oppose President Donald Trump's policies, most recently rejecting to support his party's "big beautiful bill" over debt concerns. Now, his positions may cost him, as a GOP operation is reportedly looking for primary challengers to take his seat in the next election cycle.
Massie was one of the Republicans who staunchly opposed the Republican Party's sweeping bill to enact key pieces of Trump's agenda this year, such as extending the 2017 tax cuts and boosting spending for immigration enforcement. He has also publicly criticized the bill, calling it a "ticking debt bomb" that represents "Biden-level spending and increased deficits," and contains a concession he said would "primarily benefit limousine liberals in blue states."
