President Trump Calls For Rep. Lauren Boebert To Be Primaried

President Trump is not too happy with Rep. Lauren Boebert.

On Saturday afternoon, Trump, in a Truth Social post, called Rep. Lauren Boebert “weak-minded” after the congresswoman traveled to Kentucky to campaign for Rep. Thomas Massie.

In his statement, Trump wrote that Boebert was “weak-minded” and called for a Republican to step up and challenge her for Colorado’s 4th Congressional District seat.

Read Trump’s full statement on Truth Social below:

Is anyone interested in running against Weak Minded Lauren Boebert in Colorado’s Fourth Congressional District? You remember Lauren moved to the District when it became obvious that she couldn’t win in her original Congressional District (The Third!) — A Carpetbagger, indeed! Boebert is campaigning for the Worst “Republican” Congressman in the History of our Country, Thomas Massie, of the Great Commonwealth of Kentucky, and anybody who can be that dumb deserves a good Primary fight!

Even though I long ago endorsed Boebert, if the right person came along, it would be my Honor to withdraw that Endorsement, and endorse a good and proper alternative. Just let me know, or announce your Candidacy, and I will be there for you! President DONALD J. TRUMP

President Trump has not endorsed Massie for reelection but has instead endorsed Ed Gallrein.

In response to Trump’s call for her to be challenged, Boebert took to X and wrote she was not mad or offended at the president’s remarks.

See here:

Yes, I saw the President’s post.

No, I’m not mad or offended. I knew the risks when I agreed to stand by my friend Thomas Massie.

I was, and will be, America First, America Always, and MAGA.

Onward 🇺🇸

The Hill provided the latest polling for Kentucky’s 4th Congressional District race between Massie and Gallrein:

A new poll from Quantus Insights has Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) trailing challenger Ed Gallrein, just days before the May 19 Republican primary in Kentucky’s 4th Congressional District.

The survey, conducted Monday and Tuesday, found that 48.3 percent of 908 respondents backed Gallrein, whom President Trump endorsed last year amid a feud with Massie, while 43.1 percent backed the incumbent. More than 8 percent of respondents were undecided.

Among 69 respondents who were still undecided, Gallrein received support from 52.2 percent of them and Massie received the backing of 20.3 percent of them. More than 27 percent of those 69 respondents still said they were undecided, even when asked if they were leaning toward a particular candidate.

Massie, a libertarian, has represented the Bluegrass State’s 4th District since 2012 — making him the third-longest-tenured member of Kentucky’s House delegation, behind only Republican Reps. Hal Rogers and Brett Guthrie.

But after Massie broke with Trump on a variety of issues last year, including the U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities in June, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and the administration’s handling of files related to the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, the president pulled his support of Massie and backed Gallrein — a retired U.S. Navy SEAL who lost to state Sen. Aaron Reed (R) in the 2024 GOP primary for Kentucky’s 7th Senatorial District.
