Massie files to run in 2028 after losing House primary
GOP Rep. Thomas Massie filed to run for his Kentucky House seat in 2028 after losing a primary to Trump-backed challenger Ed Gallrein. Trump's influence in Republican primaries intensified, leading to the ousting of other GOP figures like Sen. Bill Cassidy and Brad Raffensperger. The primary, fueled by pro-Israel groups, became the most expensive in U.S. history with over $32 million in ad spending.
