Trump aide warns Rep. Massie over funding opposition

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) has publicly opposed a government funding measure supported by former President Donald Trump, marking a significant clash in their relationship. Massie, who previously received Trump's endorsement, criticized the budget as wasteful. In response to Massie's refusal to support the funding measure, Chris LaCivita, Trump's co-campaign manager, issued a warning on social media. Massie countered, asserting that threats to his re-election would not influence his voting decisions. The House Republicans hold a slim majority, with 218 seats compared to 214 for Democrats. Massie emphasized his commitment to transparency and principles over party loyalty, despite facing challengers in past elections.
