Trump urges primary challenge against Rep. Massie

Former President Donald Trump has called for a primary challenge against Republican Rep. Thomas Massie for opposing a government funding measure. Massie plans to vote against a bill that increases defense spending while cutting non-defense spending. The bill, supported by the House Freedom Caucus, aims to prevent a government shutdown. Trump criticized Massie for his stance, labeling him a "grandstander" and suggesting he is not aligned with party goals. Massie, a hardline conservative, remains firm in his opposition, stating he will not support what he views as continued government waste. He expressed confidence that his constituents value transparency over party loyalty.
