Trump seeks to oust Kentucky's Thomas Massie over funding

President Donald Trump has called for the ousting of Kentucky Representative Thomas Massie after Massie announced he would not support a government funding bill. Trump stated he would "lead the charge" against Massie, comparing him to Liz Cheney. Massie's opposition is significant as House Republicans prepare to vote on a funding resolution. With a slim majority, losing Massie's vote could jeopardize the bill's passage. Massie has previously faced Trump's criticism but has consistently won his elections. Several Republican and Libertarian figures have defended Massie, arguing he prioritizes transparency and fiscal responsibility. They suggest Trump's attack may be misguided, as Massie has a strong record of standing against excessive spending.
