Rep. Thomas Massie endorsed former President Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential contest, telling Fox News Digital that the election is 'too important' for him to not 'weigh-in.'
Rep. Thomas Massie – who former President Donald Trump once said should be ousted from the Republican Party – announced on Friday that he is endorsing Trump for president. In a statement issued on Friday, the Kentucky Republican endorsed Trump, and urged conservatives, libertarians, and independents to join him in casting their vote for the GOP presidential candidate. 'Donald Trump will put Americans first by securing our liberties at home and preventing needless wars abroad.
Trump fired off the attack on Massie just before the lawmaker demanded a recorded vote on a massive COVID-19 pandemic-related spending measure. Massie's demand for a recorded vote was ultimately rejected, but the lawmaker had earned the ire not only of Trump, but also of many lawmakers who returned to D.C. during the episode. Despite Trump's attack, Massie went on to win a resounding victory in the June 2020 Republican primary in Kentucky's 4th Congressional District.
Last year, Massie endorsed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for president before the governor announced his White House bid. DeSantis ultimately dropped out and endorsed Trump in January 2024 after Trump won the Iowa caucuses. In June, Massie told Spectrum News that Trump was 'endorsing non-conservatives in Republican primaries right now.'
