Massie is facing the full might of Trump’s political operation in a nasty GOP primary in northeast Kentucky, where MAGA world has poured millions to support the president’s preferred candidate, former Navy SEAL Ed Gallrein. And Massie and his allies argue it’s no ordinary race – it’s an attempt to silence the president’s remaining critics in Congress.

So far, Paul seems to be the only congressional Republican working to help Massie hang on in what some consider the last vestige of the pre-Trump Tea Party brand of fiscal restraint and hands-off government. The Kentucky senator told CNN he plans to campaign with him for several days this spring ahead of the May primary, after other joint events last fall. Massie told CNN the only other help on the stump he’s been offered is former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who left Congress last month after Trump’s repeated tirades against her.

Even Speaker Mike Johnson told CNN that he is not committed to backing Massie, a stunning move for a sitting party leader.

Massie from what I've seen and heard seems to be a rare voice of logic and sanity. Probably makes him an outcast there.

I hope he wins but I doubt it. Rand Paul as well. Authentic conservatives, unlike the president.
