Thomas Massie, a Republican congressman from Kentucky, has lost his primary bid for reelection. President Donald Trump had launched a costly attack against him, showcasing the president's power to remove his GOP adversaries. Massie, known for his independent voting and willingness to oppose Trump, was a prominent figure in the House. He opposed Trump’s tax cuts and military actions, and pushed for the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files. Massie, an engineer and libertarian-leaning politician, first joined Congress in 2012. Despite his popularity in his district, Trump's relentless criticism ultimately led to Massie's defeat.
