在成功推动路易斯安那州联邦参议员比尔·卡西迪（R-拉）在该州初选中出局后，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普发起了新一轮行动，号召支持者罢免另一位共和党批评者，并警告共和党其余议员要么与他保持一致，否则将重蹈卡西迪的覆辙。
“肯塔基州的托马斯·马西，我国历史上最糟糕、最不可靠的共和党众议员，对我们国家的侮辱甚至比路易斯安那州参议员比尔·卡西迪更甚。卡西迪今晚遭遇了前所未有的失败，甚至连共和党初选的参选资格都没能保住。”特朗普在午夜过后不久在Truth Social上写道。
“这是美国在任参议员首次遭遇这种情况！”总统继续说道，“这就是投票弹劾无辜之人的下场，尤其是那个让卡西迪得以当选参议员的人。”
卡西迪在周六晚间的路易斯安那州共和党参议员初选中未能晋级，最终落后于莱特洛和州财政部长约翰·弗莱明。由于没有候选人获得多数票，莱特洛和弗莱明将在6月27日的决选中展开对决。

特朗普以卡西迪的失败作为对马西的警告。自2020年以来，马西因在众议院投票反对特朗普的议程，被特朗普称为“哗众取宠者”。
“马西非常不忠，但他还是个大骗子，情况甚至更糟！”特朗普在尖锐的帖子中继续说道，“肯塔基州的选民们，在周二的选举中把这个失败者赶出政坛。他的绰号是‘兰德·保罗二世’，也是个不折不扣的‘美人’，因为他的投票习惯糟糕透顶。”
“投票给埃德·加尔雷恩吧，他是一位成功的肯塔基州农场主，也是美国战争英雄。他参选只是因为他认为马西对我的总统职位如此不忠、如此不尊重。”
特朗普持续抨击现任共和党议员托马斯·马西，挑战者宣布参选
“这是一位伟大的人物，简直是标准的完美主角，他配得上代表肯塔基州了不起的人民。肯塔基州是我三次以创纪录得票率赢得支持的联邦州，我为此感到自豪！”
“埃德绝不会让你们失望。让美国再次伟大！”
马西将在周二的肯塔基州第四国会选区共和党初选中与加尔雷恩对决。这场竞选已成为本届选举周期中关注度最高的共和党众议院初选之一，特朗普背书加尔雷恩，旨在阻止马西连任。
身陷特朗普打击名单的特立独行众议院共和党人晒出巨额竞选筹款
特朗普的攻击紧随一系列庆祝卡西迪在路易斯安那州失利的帖子之后。
“政治之夜大获全胜。感谢所有人！”特朗普在另一篇Truth Social帖子中写道。
卡西迪是在1月6日选举抗议事件后的第二次弹劾审判中投票定罪特朗普的七名共和党参议员之一。特朗普称卡西迪“不忠”，并表示他的“政治生涯结束了！”
特朗普还向莱特洛表示祝贺，称她“竞选出色”，在“处理完一些额外事务”后将“成为一名出色的参议员”。莱特洛在周六的初选中领先，弗莱明位居第二，卡西迪位列第三。
爱国者还是“可悲的共和党叛徒”？特立独行的共和党人托马斯·马西从“美国优先”转向“美国唯一”
总统的注意力很快转回肯塔基州。马西曾在过去躲过了特朗普发起的初选压力，但如今在竞选的最后阶段面临着资金充裕的初选挑战。
马西自2012年以来一直代表肯塔基州第四选区。该选区横跨肯塔基州北部，是典型的共和党票仓，因此在大多数选举周期中，共和党初选就是决定性的竞选。
特朗普与马西的矛盾在过去一年中加剧。2025年3月，马西反对短期政府拨款法案，推动公布杰弗里·爱泼斯坦文件，并反对特朗普对伊朗开战的决定，此后特朗普便呼吁对马西发起初选挑战。
“有人以为通过威胁我的连任就能控制我的投票权，”马西去年回击特朗普时说道。

特朗普还针对支持马西的科罗拉多州众议员劳伦·博伯特（R-科）展开攻击，称她“头脑简单”，并暗示如果科罗拉多州第四国会选区出现挑战博伯特的候选人，他将考虑撤回对她的背书。
“博伯特正在为我国历史上最糟糕的‘共和党’众议员、来自伟大肯塔基州的托马斯·马西助选，任何蠢到这种地步的人都该好好经历一场初选挑战！”特朗普在周六晚间早些时候的一篇Truth Social帖子中写道。
“尽管我很久以前就背书了博伯特，但如果出现合适的人选，我很乐意撤回这份背书，并支持一位合格的替代人选。只要有人宣布参选，我就会到场支持！”
马西指出，特朗普现在呼吁对博伯特发起初选已经太晚了。
兰德·保罗承诺支持马西对抗特朗普背书的挑战者：“我会帮助他”

“自博伯特上周五上任以来，我在网上就看到有人呼吁对她发起初选挑战，”马西在周六的肯塔基州竞选集会上对记者说，“她的初选报名已经截止了。所以他们尽管呼吁吧，已经来不及了。”
“而且兰德·保罗今年不在参选名单上。你们还要等整整两年。所以我认为他应该和这些人修复关系，而不是刻意树敌。”
特朗普当晚先是警告了博伯特和肯塔基州联邦参议员兰德·保罗（R-肯塔基），随后为马西站台造势。
“有消息称，兰德·保罗和劳伦·博伯特这两位极其难缠、极度不讲理的共和党议员，此刻正在我以31个百分点优势获胜的伟大肯塔基州，为我国政党历史上最糟糕的‘共和党’众议员招摇过市！”特朗普在卡西迪失利数小时前在Truth Social上写道，抨击马西是“不忠、忘恩负义、自以为是的傻瓜，几乎从不支持哪怕最基本的共和党价值观”。

“挑战马西的候选人埃德·加尔雷恩是真正的美国爱国者，一位肯塔基州的农场主，也是军事英雄。他忠诚到底，全程践行‘让美国再次伟大’的理念——投票给埃德·加尔雷恩，抹去我国伟大政党历史上最糟糕的议员之一托马斯·马西带来的恶臭。希望我们再也不必与他打交道！”

Trump calls out Rep Thomas Massie: ‘Kentucky, get this LOSER out of politics’ Tuesday
Trump urges support for Ed Gallrein in Tuesday’s GOP primary
May 17, 2026 7:33am EDT / Fox News

Fresh off his work to oust Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., in a Louisiana primary, President Donald Trump made a call to action against Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., urging his backers to vote out another one of his GOP critics and warning the rest of the party to align with him or risk Cassidy’s fate.
“Tom Massie of Kentucky, the worst and most unreliable Republican Congressman in the history of our Country, is an even bigger insult to our Nation than Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, who suffered an unprecedented loss tonight by not even being allowed to run in the Republican Primary,” Trump wrote on Truth Social shortly after midnight.
“This is the first time such a thing has ever happened to a sitting U.S. Senator!” the president continued. “That’s what you get by voting to Impeach an innocent man, especially one who made it possible for Cassidy’s Senate win.”
Cassidy failed to advance in Louisiana’s Republican Senate primary Saturday night, finishing behind Letlow and state Treasurer John Fleming. Letlow and Fleming will face each other in a June 27 runoff after no candidate cleared a majority.

Trump used Cassidy’s defeat as a warning shot against Massie, who Trump has called a “grand-stander” for having voted against his agenda in the House since 2020.
“Very disloyal, but Tom Massie, a major Sleazebag, is even worse!” Trump’s scathing post continued. “Kentucky, get this LOSER out of politics in Tuesday’s Election. He is nicknamed Rand Paul Jr., another real ‘beauty,’ because of his absolutely terrible voting habits.
“Vote for Ed Gallrein, a successful Kentucky farmer, and American War Hero, who only ran because he thought that Massie was so disloyal and disrespectful to your President, ME!

“This is a great man, Central Casting, in fact, who truly deserves to represent the fantastic people of Kentucky, a Commonwealth that I am proud to have won all three times, in record fashion!
“ED WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
Massie is facing Gallrein in the Republican primary for Kentucky’s 4th Congressional District on Tuesday. The race has become one of the highest-profile GOP House primaries of the cycle, with Trump endorsing Gallrein in an effort to deny Massie another term.

The president’s attack followed several posts celebrating Cassidy’s defeat in Louisiana.
“A BIG NIGHT IN POLITICS. THANK YOU TO ALL!” Trump wrote in a separate Truth Social post.
Cassidy was one of seven Republican senators who voted to convict Trump after the Jan. 6 election protest in Trump’s second impeachment trial. Trump called Cassidy “disloyal” and said his “political career is OVER!”
Trump also congratulated Letlow, saying she ran a “fantastic race” and would “make a brilliant Senator” after “taking care of some additional business.” Letlow led Saturday’s primary, while Fleming placed second and Cassidy finished third.

The president’s focus quickly shifted back to Kentucky, where Massie has survived past pressure campaigns from Trump but is now facing a well-funded primary challenge in the final stretch.
Massie has represented Kentucky’s 4th District since 2012. The district stretches across northern Kentucky and is heavily Republican, making the GOP primary the decisive contest in most election cycles.
Trump’s feud with Massie has intensified over the past year. Trump called for Massie to be primaried after the congressman opposed a short-term government funding bill in March 2025, pushing for the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files and opposing his decision to go to war with Iran.
“Someone thinks they can control my voting card by threatening my reelection,” Massie shot back at Trump last year.

Trump also targeted Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., for supporting Massie, calling her “Weak Minded” and suggesting he would consider withdrawing his endorsement if a challenger entered the race against her in Colorado’s 4th Congressional District.
“Boebert is campaigning for the Worst “Republican” Congressman in the History of our Country, Thomas Massie, of the Great Commonwealth of Kentucky, and anybody who can be that dumb deserves a good Primary fight!” Trump wrote in an earlier Saturday night Truth Social post.
“Even though I long ago endorsed Boebert, if the right person came along, it would be my Honor to withdraw that Endorsement, and endorse a good and proper alternative. Just let me know, or announce your Candidacy, and I will be there for you!”
Massie noted Trump is too late to call for a Boebert primary.

“ I’ve seen people calling for primary challengers against Boebert online since she got here [Friday],” Massie told reporters after his Kentucky campaign rally Saturday. “Her primary is already closed. So they can call for that. It’s too late.
“And Rand Paul’s not on the ballot this year. You’re going to have to wait two whole years. So I think he should be mending fences with these folks, not trying to burn bridges.”
Trump began the night warning about Boebert and Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., stumping for Massie.
“Word is that Rand Paul and Lauren Boebert, two very difficult, and highly unreasonable, Republican Votes, are right now in the Great Commonwealth of Kentucky, which I won by 31 points, parading around like fools for the Worst “Republican” Congressman in the History of our Party!” Trump wrote on Truth Social hours before the Cassidy defeat, blasting Massie as “a disloyal, ungracious, and sanctimonious FOOL, who almost never votes for even the best of Republican Values.”

“The man running against Massie, Ed Gallrein, is a true American Patriot, a Farmer from Kentucky, and a Military Hero. He is loyal, and MAGA all the way — VOTE FOR ED GALLREIN, AND WIPE AWAY THE STENCH OF ONE OF THE WORST CONGRESSMEN IN THE HISTORY OF OUR GREAT PARTY, THOMAS MASSIE. MAY WE NEVER HAVE TO DEAL WITH HIM AGAIN!”
