Trump Attacks Thomas Massie Ahead of Kentucky Primary

Donald Trump attacked Rep. Thomas Massie ahead of Kentucky’s Republican primary, where Massie faces a challenger. Center outlets emphasize Trump’s effort to defeat Massie and report Massie’s confidence and the closeness of the race. Right-leaning outlets differ: coverage links Boebert’s support for Massie to opposition to Trump, while also presenting Massie sympathetically and disputing a misconduct accusation.
