Trump urges primary challenge against Kentucky Congressman Massie

Donald Trump has called for a primary challenge against Republican Congressman Thomas Massie of Kentucky. This comes after Massie opposed a temporary funding bill to prevent a government shutdown, which Trump supports. Massie has consistently voted against such funding measures, stating he will not support the current bill unless he forgets his past experiences. Trump criticized Massie for his stance and threatened to lead efforts against him in the 2026 primaries. The House Freedom Caucus endorsed the funding bill, which aims to freeze spending for six months. If passed by March 14, the government will remain funded until at least September 30.
