总统唐纳德·特朗普周三将与肯塔基州共和党众议员托马斯·马西（Thomas Massie）的矛盾，带到这位自由意志主义者议员的家乡。
肯塔基州共和党周一在社交媒体上宣布，特朗普预计将于周三在肯塔基州希伯伦（Hebron）举办活动。希伯伦位于马西所代表的该州第4国会选区北部。
马西的初选对手埃德·加尔雷恩（Ed Gallrein）周二向福克斯新闻数字频道证实，他将出席希伯伦活动，但就此事的其他问题均推给白宫回应。
马西的发言人告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，马西因之前已安排的公务将缺席此次活动。

当被问及此次访问时，白宫女发言人莉兹·休斯顿（Liz Huston）告诉福克斯新闻数字频道：“特朗普总统周三将访问俄亥俄州和肯塔基州，宣传其经济成就，并详细说明政府降低物价、让美国更具购买力的积极持续努力。”
在马西多次公开违抗特朗普后，特朗普已动用其巨大影响力支持加尔雷恩击败马西。

马西最近是投票阻止特朗普与以色列联合行动的两名众议院共和党人之一，尽管该法案被多数共和党议员和少数民主党人成功否决。
他也是去年投票反对特朗普“宏伟法案”的两名共和党人之一。
特朗普反过来也对马西发动了一系列人身攻击，包括在10月支持加尔雷恩的声明中称他“软弱可怜”。
“他只反对共和党，让激进左翼的日子很轻松。与‘轻量级’马西不同，这个完全无效的失败者让我们大失所望，而‘船长’埃德·加尔雷恩是不会让你们失望的赢家。”特朗普当时在Truth Social上发文，这是多年来针对这位肯塔基州共和党人的众多批评之一。
7月，在马西两党推动司法部公布杰弗里·爱泼斯坦（Jeffrey Epstein）相关文件时，特朗普称他是“最糟糕的共和党国会议员”。

尽管与特朗普和众议院共和党领袖结怨，马西迄今为止似乎仍未被政治力量击倒。
他在2024年和2022年轻松击败了多名初选挑战者，自2012年以来一直担任该选区议员。
加尔雷恩是一名退休海军海豹突击队员和农民，在特朗普表示支持后数日启动竞选。他们的初选投票日是5月19日。

Trump stirs GOP primary drama with visit to Massie’s Kentucky home turf
By Elizabeth Elkind Fox News
Published March 10, 2026 12:45pm EDT
President Donald Trump is taking his feud with Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., to the libertarian lawmaker’s home turf on Wednesday.
Trump is expected to hold an event in Hebron, Kentucky, on Wednesday, the Republican Party of Kentucky announced on social media Monday. It’s located in the northern part of the state’s 4th Congressional District, which Massie represents.
Massie’s primary rival, Ed Gallrein, will attend the Hebron event, his campaign confirmed to Fox News Digital on Tuesday, while deferring all other questions on the matter to the White House.
Massie himself will miss the event due to a previously scheduled official engagement, his spokesperson told Fox News Digital.

When asked about the visit, White House spokeswoman Liz Huston told Fox News Digital, “President Trump will visit the great states of Ohio and Kentucky on Wednesday to tout his economic victories and detail his Administration’s aggressive, ongoing efforts to lower prices and make America more affordable.”
The president has thrown his considerable influence behind Gallrein to unseat Massie after the GOP lawmaker publicly defied Trump on multiple occasions.

Massie most recently was one of two House Republicans to vote to stop Trump’s joint operation in Iran with Israel, though the legislation was successfully blocked by the majority of GOP lawmakers and a handful of Democrats.

He was also one of two Republicans to vote against Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” last year.
Trump in turn has hurled a slew of personal attacks against Massie, including calling him “weak and pathetic” in a statement endorsing Gallrein in October.
“He only votes against the Republican Party, making life very easy for the Radical Left. Unlike ‘lightweight’ Massie, a totally ineffective LOSER who has failed us so badly, CAPTAIN ED GALLREIN IS A WINNER WHO WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN,” Trump posted on Truth Social at the time, one of numerous criticisms targeting the Kentucky Republican through the years.
He called Massie the “worst Republican congressman” in July amid Massie’s bipartisan push to force the Department of Justice (DOJ) to release its files on Jeffrey Epstein.

But Massie has so far appeared to defy political gravity despite making political enemies out of both Trump and House GOP leaders.

He handily defeated multiple primary challengers in 2024 and 2022, despite public feuds with Trump, and has served his district since 2012.
Gallrein is a retired Navy SEAL and farmer who launched his campaign days after Trump made his endorsement. Their primary election day is May 19.
