Days after losing the Republican primary to challenger Ed Gallrein, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) announced he has filed paperwork to campaign for his U.S. House seat in 2028.
Donald Trump endorsed Gallrein after Massie clashed with the president on several issues, including the Jeffrey Epstein Files and the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran.
“I filed with FEC for the 2028 House race,” Massie wrote on X on Monday. “This allows me to raise funds to continue my political operations supporting my position as a current office holder and as a potential candidate for federal office. I haven’t made a final decision about which office to seek, if I run.”
The announcement came just hours after Trump described Massie, Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.), who was also defeated by a Trump-supported GOP primary challenger, and Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) as “losers” in a long-winded Truth Social post on Monday.
