UPDATE: Massie Loses His Seat – Ed Gallrein Wins Primary!
In one of the most watched primary races of the season, Kentucky House race for congressional district 04 is a challenge of President Trump endorsed Ed Gallrein versus the incumbent Trump antagonist Thomas Massie.
Most of the pontificating high-horse alligator emojis from the DeSantis tribe are supporting Thomas Massie along with significant elements of the GOPe and Bush clan who just want President Trump to get a loss. The anti-Trump republicans have all coalesced behind Massie. Meanwhile, the MAGA group of pro-Trump supporters are aligned to support Massie’s challenger, the Trump-endorsed Ed Gallrein.
Representative Thomas Massie is facing the most difficult re-election battle of his career. Massie has been the most outspoken Republican antagonist of President Trump, who has strongly backed his challenger, Ed Gallrein, a former Navy SEAL. The race has turned into the most expensive congressional primary race on record, with several groups furious over Mr. Massie’s general disposition to be in opposition to anything until Trump is removed.

America First!!!!!!
Well, I think Massie was the America First candidate.
Gallrein had a ton of bad funding. NOT America First.
Hate to see Massie go
Lol
Nuff said about this low life! –

There could be deeper stuff that I don’t understand about Massie, but my read on him, like Rand Paul, is he stood up against certain deep state operations , although selective, that no other congressman would. Yes, Lbertarians can irritate me when their ideology blocks their common sense. Yes, they have friction with President Trump, and he annoyingly seemed to enjoy antagonizing the President. He irritated President Trump; so what? Our founders also had deep personal disputes.
I think losing Massie was a loss. I can believe in the President’s providential mission, and still see the value in Massie.
Oh, well.
Massie has no value .
Massie’s value was greatly diminished by the stakes at this time, which he failed to understand (?), and the nature of the 20% by which he undermined Trump being allowed to carry out what he was elected to do.
Listened to his concession speech.

Kind of annoying. Guess he did it to himself.
29% in.
Gallrein holding at 55%.
Unrelated, but it is Primary Night. Another PDJT-endorsee wins.
Waaaaay overdue! Thune just lost his his footing.
Replace him with Missouri Senator Eric Schmitt.
“Thune just lost his his footing.”
Good time to give him a gentile “nudge” out the door.
This is a big win. There are 11 running including the former AG D. Cameron. Barr won by a wide margin.
Oh my goodness. This is even better than Massie taking a loss. No more turtles in the senate. Of course, I’m sure he will be whispering in Thune’s ear until President Trump leaves office or McConnell goes to meet his just rewards. Kentucky you’ve made me proud I named my cat after you. Ken Tucky.
McTurtle is on his way out in more ways than one….he seems more lost than even AutoPen was.
Sundance, the RINO brigade will be coming for you now. lol
A bayonet charge from old crooks in wheelchairs?
They belong in prison.
“A bayonet charge from old crooks in wheelchairs?”
Probably closer to Statler and Waldorf attempting to hurl tomatoes from the balcony.
Live Decision Desk is here:
Chuck Todd?…. Hard pass, but thanks.
Too late now, but just hit the mute button to silence the talking heads.
The running DD numbers are usually straight.
Fair… I was (half) kidding, Oldersoul…. We appreciate you posting the tallies… They’re helpful… I was just reacting to “F-Chuck Todd” (as Rush would say)… Hard to take (as you know)….
It’s a joke that the usual fake media and AP haven’t called this yet. Massie was leading in only 2 of 21 counties, and just barely, with 4 not yet reporting with about 30% in and Massie down by 10 points.
35% in now and Massie is losing by more than 12 points. Where is the fake media call?
They will drag this out.
Like they do for any other Democrat.
I noticed that too.
Polymarket had Gallrein at 90% to win right after the polls closed.
Likely based on the exit polling.
I think they just want to drag it to 8 pm so they can keep eyeballs on their channel.
“I think they just want to drag it to 8 pm so they can keep eyeballs on their channel.”
Never let a good crisis go to waste…….
-Eric Holder
I believe it was Rahm Emmanuel who famously stated that, but Holder is close!!
“Massie was leading in only 2 of 21 counties,”
What is the breakdown, dem vs republican, in those 2 counties?
The Guardian has called it and Massie ain’t coming down for breakfast as a winner.
massie sent out a last-minute fake presidential endorsement, but deliberately left out that it was from 2022… this arrogant wanker needs to b sent packing. The smear campaign on gallrein’s military record isn’t helping.
God bless the Republic
Massie has been ousted by Gallrein: https://townhall.com/tipsheet/mattvespa/2026/05/19/goodbye-thomas-massie-is-ousted-in-ky-primary-n2676306
Yep. It’s pretty stunning, and shows Massie’s desperation, that he would try something like that. But after he campaigned with the commiecrats for the past 2 weeks, it shouldn’t have been a surprise. His internal polling must have been terrible. He was grasping at straws, and it didn’t seem to be working.
It also shows they know what we want and only seem to care when it’s voting time.
Massie has been running deceptive AM radio spots implying he was with Pres Trump for a week or so that I noticed.
I really hope Massie loses because it will be a good solid kick in the rear of DeSantis, McConnell, Thune and the Bushies.
Isreal first wins!!!!
Massie gets just as much from Israel, he just doesn’t get it from AIPAC.
Where have you been, they got that with Chucky Schumer, Nadler, Whitehouse and Blooming Idiot.
Massie has lost… Townhall just posted
CRAZY MONEY in Kentucky District 4 for / against Massie
https://www.opensecrets.org/elections/kentucky/federal/kentucky-district-04/candidates?cycle=2026
As of 7:40 pm EDT, it looks close to over… The “principles crowd” will be disappointed (assuming they aren’t bots).
Has anyone seen the video’s of Massie’s Florida girlfriend? He’s married now to another women but the girlfriend basically calls him a pervert.
Any old single guy is a pervert.
Hey I’m not single!
Apparently there’s been ethics complaints and possibly an ongoing lawsuit for some time and the media never said a word. That tells you he was a shill.
Another RINO is teed up for a big beat down!
Down goes Massie!
NOW — KORNACKI: “That’s a BIG chunk of the vote in Boone and Kenton County, those are NOT the numbers Massie wants to see!”
“Spencer County, demographically would be more pro-Trump, is delivering for Gallrein.”
“Rurals are delivering for Gallrein, and he’s getting numbers he wants to see in the metro areas.”

I suspect the bible belt counties were stunned to hear the sex allegations
Pleeeaaase. You must not have spent much time in the bible belt.
You’d be surprised 😉
Massie talks a good talk but his actions speak volumes as he has consistenly been a hindrance to Trump and M
AGA. I hope he goes down.
On Point.
I hate to say it, but I do so hope Massie’s arrogant butt gets kicked. It felt like he betrayed a lot of people.
Decision Desk called it!!
Ed Gallrein projected to win..
Thomas Massie is out…
https://t.me/candlesinthenight/94178
It looks like Decision Desk has called it for Gallrein.
👏👏👏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🥳🥳🥳🥳
Oh my gosh, thank God!!!!
💥💥💥🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅🦅
The million dollar question is if McConnell and wife escape to live in China.
I’m sure the Chinese government would like to see them buried as soon as possible.
… as would the American public.
I just wish he had a different last name .
Is he gonna blame the “Joos” for his loss? Last I checked Kentucky has a Jewish population of less than .05%.
Maybe the voters in his district are tired of this two-faced clown. I’m sure CNN will be happy to hire this Trump hating, anti-Semite to counter Scott Jennings.
He kind of did. Pathetic.
Yes he did.

Looks like Trump’s pesky MAGA voting base strikes again! 🇺🇸💥🇺🇸💥🇺🇸.
Trumps MAGA people are not gonna win! Tom Hanks said so, himself!
“Tom Hanks said so, himself!”
If you spent four years on a deserted island you might be clueless about today’s political reality too…….
Libertarians are reminded that they are a true minority of American thought.
You won’t get what you want by standing in the way of nationalists.
If Libertarians want the ideal life, move off the grid. MAGA will leave you in peace. Be like the Amish. Proud and quiet.
Best post of the year! 🏅
I bet is if Rand Paul left to live with the Amish they would beat him up and bury him under a barn.
Massie actually is off grid. He cut logs and split stone for his own house, then built it himself. Designed his own power system using solar and backup batteries and generator. Powered his Tesla from it, too.
Truth is, it’s a very impressive homestead. Glad he is getting to spend more time there, but I bet he transplants to a blue zone where he belongs. He had no reason to treat the President the way he did. You can disagree constructively, or just be destructive. He was destructive till the end. Good Riddance.

Kentucky allows no-excuse absentee voting, meaning any eligible voter can request a mail-in ballot, as of the 2020 elections. How fng convenient….
This was one of the main objectives of the Fake Pandemic. Not just to remove Trump but to offset the growing awareness of the people who vote by nullifying their vote with election fraud tactics such as no excuse mail-in ballots. This is where the UniParty will draw a red line against Trump to remove election integrity from the Big Beautiful Bill. At first the mass mail in ballots were fraudulently justified with the fake covid pandemic. Now that there is no fake pandemic to speak of, the reasoning is for increasing access for voters.
Im sure all Uniparty con men like Massie are almost completely reliant on this new fraud dynamic to maintain the status quo. But will it be too big to rig like in the General Presidential election?
This doesnt get talked about enough.
It’s not a red line against Trump, It’s against the American people.
Very good sign Massie just lost….Overjoyed
Decision Desk has called it. Massie is gone.
Fox just called it too.
They are playing games in Shelby county with no reporting.
There is only one enemy more vicious, cunning and ruthless towards MAGA than the Democrats……
It’s name is RINO…..
You misspelled GOP. I confess I am harder on my own side. Years of betrayal I suppose.
AP just called it for Ed.
https://apnews.com/projects/elections-2026/kentucky-primary-results-us-house/#4
WOW thank you!!!
💥🇺🇸🦅✝️
Like Cassidy, Massie will attempt to inflect as much havoc as possible
Thank God for another MAGA blowout!!!!👏👍🙏
Next up, the RINO species named Cornyn. 😎
Perfect!
Yes, Thank God Piglet ❤️🇺🇸🦅🤗✝️
Lets try posting a video:
Another Pitch Perfect Example of Changing the Things We Cannot Accept. Oh, the Winning!, it’s beginning to hurt so bad ! Sic Semper Sociopathicus!
Cassidy is giving the President a hearty F U on his way out the door.
Yes, he will vote reliably Democrat from now until January. As will Massie. Oh well, that is the price we have to pay to get their kind of lying backstabbers out of the Republican caucus.
But on the positive side, maybe other RINOs may take notice and straighten up!
Maybe they will notice and straighten up a little after this loss for Massie, but enough of the RINOs in the Senate joined Cassidy earlier today to vote with the Democrats (except Fetterman) to pass their anti-Trump War Powers resolution that they had not been able to pass previously. Since that was before the Massie loss, maybe their tune will be a little different tomorrow. But none of those people can be trusted. All of them need to experience what Massie is experiencing right now.
Correction – the Senate did not pass the resolution, they advanced it, so it now has to go to the House. I guess we’ll see how many House RINOs defect to vote for it. Massie certainly will.
Hopefully his day comes when we see some Rico charges against the cabal of treasonous rinos. I know, wishful thinking, but my heart desires to see such a thing.
Acting like a petty girl, not a statesman.
That’s the MTG / Pierre Delecto playbook
To all of the shallow thinkers out there, who just wanted to see President Trump lose, instead of looking at what is best for the American People and this Nation, up yours, and cross ways. The best men did win tonight, Ed Gallrein and President Donald J. Trump. Have a wonderful rest of your evening.
Absolute well deserved ass whipping.
BOOM!
Ok now I’m convinced that a lot of the cheating has been eliminated. Great news President Trump. Of course, Massie will still be a voice of negativity. Who knows, he might join the view.
Multiple election investigations going on in AZ and GA now. That sets an expectation, they know they are being watched….even though we have yet to see justice for 2020.
POLYMARKET now has Thomas Massie and Marjorie Taylor Greene FAVORED to win the next season of Dancing With The Stars.
He needs to go back to his farm and raise his cattle. There is a beef shortage.
Where’s the winnamin baby picture?
Multiple Republican-leaning pundits got this one wrong. Their silence is deafening now.

really hope ratburger loses hard
These elections also are highlighting the importance of primaries. That is where the difference is made Massie and Cassidy are perfect examples. Hopefully these results will get people more involved in primaries in future elections. The primaries are where change can be made and the elections, so far, are illustrating the importance of the primaries.
So happy.
When do we lose Rand Paul?
Gotta keep a token
Hopefully in 2028!
Never, in a million years, did I believe we could vote our way out of this.
Next LA? Minnesota?
Still hope this Milton Friedman quote applies to those not up for re-election this year.
“I do not believe that the solution to our problem is simply to elect the right people,” Milton Friedman once said. “The important thing is to establish a political climate of opinion which will make it politically profitable for the wrong people to do the right thing. Unless it is politically profitable for the wrong people to do the right thing, the right people will not do the right thing either, or if they try, they will shortly be out of office.”
Georgia is going to have the DOJ all up in their asses this time around also for having the count go down in a secret location.
“…………..make it politically profitable for the wrong people to do the right thing.”
There, in a nutshell, is the key to successfully implementing a representative form of government.
UPDATE: Massie Loses His
