Trump Criticizes Thomas Massie and His Wife on Truth Social

Outlets agree that Trump criticized Rep. Thomas Massie and his wife in a Truth Social post, urged voters to defeat Massie and backed his challenger, Ed Gallrein. Left-leaning outlets focus on Trump's personal criticism and blame of Massie's wife, including the suggestion that the attack backfired. Center outlets also focus on the personal attack but add Massie's rebuttal and other responses, with one account linking it to the timing of a House funding bill.
