Thomas Massie Files for 2028 Election After Losing House Primary to Trump-Backed Challenger
Representative Thomas Massie has filed paperwork with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) for the 2028 election cycle, indicating a potential political comeback after his recent primary loss. Massie, a Kentucky Republican, was defeated by Ed Gallrein in the Republican primary for Kentucky’s 4th Congressional District, securing 45.1% of the vote compared to Gallrein's 54.9%. The loss followed a contentious campaign marked by a public feud with President Trump, who labeled Massie as the 'worst congressman in the Republican Party.' Despite the setback, Massie announced his filing on social media, stating it allows him to raise funds and maintain his political operations. Massie, who has served in Congress since 2012, has been a prominent conservative voice but has often clashed with Trump on various issues.
