Days After He Was Voted Out, Massie Has ALREADY Filed To Run For Office Again

President Donald Trump has continued to emphasize his influence on the GOP this election season by campaigning for or against Republican candidates based on their track record of supporting this MAGA agenda.

One of the most high-profile examples was in Kentucky, where incumbent US Rep. Thomas Massie lost to his Republican rival after Trump expressed his frustration with Massie’s vote against the Big, Beautiful Bill.

But it didn’t take long for the soon-to-be-ex-lawmaker to take the first step toward running, potentially for the same seat again, in two years.

As the Daily Caller reported:

Massie said he filed with the Federal Elections Commission (FEC) in order to raise funds for his political operations as a potential candidate, though he has not made a final decision on which office to seek. He lost his primary race to former Navy SEAL Ed Gallrein by a 9-point margin after Trump aggressively campaigned against Massie over his opposition to the Iran war, his multiple votes against the One Big, Beautiful Bill Act and his successful calls to release the files surrounding Jeffrey Epstein.

“I filed with FEC for the 2028 House race. 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,” Massie said in a Monday afternoon X post.

The news drew an array of responses, with many criticizing his rush to file after his humiliating defeat:

Looks like a money grab to anyone who's paying attention. You have ZERO real chance at winning anything aside from maybe HOA President.

Gotta make that bread!! $$$$$$

So you just filed so that way you can keep money coming in. You know you'll never win. Why don't you just go get a real job? Maybe sling some hamburgers.

Hahahahahahah his chances of winning any federal election are non-existent. I HOPE & PRAY democrats are dumb enough to prop him up and waste their money.

The globalist left was hoping to have both left and right presidential candidates on their pockets.

Massie, it’s over.

His chances of being elected as a Republican took another hit when he decided to trash the party in a post-election-defeat gripe session, per USA Today:

Massie’s loss arrived one week after fellow Republican and Louisiana Sen. Bill Cassidy also lost his reelection bid after Trump urged voters to unseat him.

Rep. Julia Letlow, a House colleague of Massie, garnered the most votes and headed to a runoff with state Treasurer John Fleming. Both races were seen as a check on Trump’s influence among Republican primary voters amid sinking approval ratings with the general public.

But Massie hasn’t only criticized the Trump administration over the Epstein files. He has also pointed out that Trump’s signature One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which he was one of two Republicans to oppose, added about $3.8 trillion to the deficit.

Massie said during his “Meet the Press” interview that he believes it was “absolutely worth it for me” to challenge Trump and other Republicans, even after losing his House district.
