Does Thomas Massie’s loss show Trump still controls the GOP?
Despite Trump’s historically low approval rating, Thomas Massie - a popular Kentucky Republican congressman who has opposed Trump on the Epstein files and the war in Iran - has been unseated by Trump’s hand-picked rubber-stamp nobody….
Massie voted with the GOP over 90% of the time, but Trump still painted a target on his back, calling him a “traitor” for his refusal to follow in lock-step with the president. Does this show us that, despite Trump’s low approval rating, he still controls the GOP base? Does this prove that GOP = Trump, and there is no room for debate? If so, how will this impact the midterm elections?
