Trump targets Massie for opposing funding plan

Donald Trump criticized Republican Representative Thomas Massie for opposing a federal funding plan proposed by Speaker Mike Johnson. The plan aims to prevent a government shutdown by maintaining current funding levels until September 30. Massie's opposition poses a challenge for Johnson, as the House can only afford to lose two votes for the plan to pass. Trump suggested that Massie should face a primary challenger, while Johnson defended Massie, noting his strong support among constituents. Vice President J.D. Vance warned House Republicans that the GOP would be blamed if a shutdown occurs. The House is set to vote on the funding measure, but its passage remains uncertain due to internal party divisions.
