President Donald Trump and his top political advisers are plotting an aggressive push to oust one of his most persistent Republican adversaries: Rep. Thomas Massie. And House GOP leaders won’t stand in Trump’s way.

Speaker Mike Johnson and his leadership team are sending their clearest signals to date that their conservative colleague will have to fend for himself as Trump’s allies prepare to dump millions into Massie’s district to purge him from the Northeastern Kentucky district he’s represented for nearly 13 years. In interviews with CNN, five members of House GOP leadership declined to offer their backing for Massie’s reelection bid – and Johnson would not say if he’d support his colleague.

Instead, the speaker admonished Massie for undercutting his party’s agenda – as the libertarian-minded Republican intensifies his furious battle to force the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files and derides Trump’s signature domestic policy achievement for driving up the national debt.

“He is actively working against his team almost daily now and seems to enjoy that role. So he is, you know, deciding his own fate,” Johnson told CNN, delivering a firm message that party leaders would not intervene to protect Massie in the escalating feud with Trump.

“GOP Congressman Thomas Massie gets influx of new donors amid Trump feud”

“Thomas Massie for Congress has raised $584,325 in the July 2025 quarterly period and 68% of donations were from first time donors, the campaign said in a news release. That money came from roughly 5,000 individual donors who donated an average of $98, the campaign added.”

“That puts Massie's 2026 election cycle fundraising at $1,737,746 so far and Thomas Massie for Congress has $1,737,746 cash-on-hand.“
