Signs of wear and tear on the image of Congressman Thomas Massie (R-KY) are becoming more evident after months of eviscerating criticisms by President Donald Trump.
Massie has been at the forefront of a small band of hardline fiscal conservatives threatening to hold up Trump’s “big, beautiful” tax cut bill when it returns from Senate markups for a second vote. His outspoken opposition has drawn sharp words from Trump, who over the weekend announced that he would be investing heavily in a Republican challenger to defeat Massie in next year’s primary election.
Winning that battle may turn out to be easier than it initially appeared.
A new poll by Kaplan Strategies shows that the six-term lawmaker is viewed poorly by his constituents, the vast majority of whom would prefer that someone else take his place when the 120th Congress convenes in 2027.
Asked whether Massie deserves to be reelected, just 19% of respondents agreed, while 47% indicated they would be willing to support a challenger. If Trump were to endorse that challenger, Massie’s stature would fall even further to 14% while the challenger’s support would rise to 59%.
