Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) lost the Republican primary for Kentucky’s 4th Congressional District to Donald Trump-endorsed candidate Ed Gallrein. The loss is a big win for President Trump, who had repeatedly gone after Massie for criticizing his administration’s policies.
Massie didn’t leave quietly. In his concession speech, he delivered a sharp joke at his opponent’s expense that got a loud reaction from the crowd. His supporters cheered his name and even urged him to run for president in 2028.
