Massie challenges Trump supporters to primary him over spending
Republican Rep. Tom Massie is challenging supporters of Donald Trump to primary him after he refused to back a GOP stopgap spending plan. He stated he prioritizes transparency and principles over party pressure. Massie has previously opposed Trump's larger budget plan, arguing it would increase national debt. Trump criticized Massie, calling him a consistent "NO" vote and suggested he should be primaried. With Republicans holding a slim majority in the House, Massie's stance could complicate the passage of the spending bill. Most Republicans are expected to support the plan despite Massie's objections.
