Trump forming a Super PAC to primary Thomas Massie “Kentucky MAGA” will spend what it takes to remove Massie from congress

President Donald Trump has launched an aggressive effort to unseat Kentucky Representative Thomas Massie in the May 2026 primary.

The PAC is being run by Tony Fabrizio and Chris LaCivita, who are well-known for their roles in Trump’s political campaigns, are experienced in high-stakes political battles and are known for their aggressive tactics.

The final straw for Trump was Massies statements made in an X post after 3 Iranian Nuclear sites were targeted by Trump

Massie posted,
“Trump’s strikes are unconstitutional and put Americans, especially our troops, at risk.”

Massie also joined with democrats to introduce a war powers resolution in the house to take power away from the President.

His post drew a quick response from Trump, who said

“Thomas Massie is weak, ineffective, and votes ‘NO’ on virtually everything.”

“He is not MAGA, and it’s time for Kentucky to find a real Republican to represent them. Launching Kentucky MAGA to make it happen!”

Massie is known for opposing Trump – some of the cabinet picks he voted against are:

Pete Hegseth
Massie opposed Hegseth because of his alleged lack of experience in national security and defense policy – despite his lengthy history in the military, his combat experience, his military leadership roles and his numerous badges and medals including a bronze star.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Massie voted against Kennedy because of his desire to investigate effects of vaccines, and his focus on public health policy – removing chemicals from food, MAHA agenda – which Massie believed could lead to misguided health policies.

Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy – DOGE
Massie opposed the creation of DOGE and the appointment of Musk and Ramaswamy. DOGE was created to eliminate waste, fraud and abuse from the federal government.

Policies he opposed Trump on:

“Big Beautiful Bill”
Massie voted against the bill when it came to a vote in the House of Representatives in May.

The bill passed with a narrow margin of 215-214, with Massie being one of two Republicans to join all Democrats in opposition.

National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2026
Massie opposed the NDAA

Trump supported the NDAA as part of his strategy to strengthen national security and maintain a robust military presence, especially in light of tensions with Iran and other adversaries.

Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) Reauthorization
Massie voted against the reauthorization of the IIJA, He argued that infrastructure should be primarily a state and local responsibility, not a federal one.

Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2025 (TCJA 2.0)
Massie opposed the TCJA 2.0, which extended and expanded the 2017 tax cuts,

Trump strongly supported the TCJA 2.0 as a cornerstone of his economic policy, aiming to stimulate growth and stop the biggest tax hike in history

Border Security and Immigration Reform Act of 2025
Massie opposed this bill because it included funding for a border wall and increased immigration enforcement measures.

Trump championed this bill as part of his “America First” agenda, focusing on securing the border and reducing illegal immigration.

The PAC is prepared to spend “whatever it takes” to make sure Massie loses.

Trump has a ton of cash at his disposal, boasting a $500 million war chest.

The strategy includes commissioning polls to assess Massie’s vulnerability and leveraging Trump’s influence to mobilize support against him.
