Thomas Massie loses Republican primary to Trump-backed challenger Ed Gallrein
Massie is known for being a libertarian, which has seen him frequently vote against his own party on budgetary matters, and he has emerged as one of the foremost Republican skeptics of Israel and the ongoing Iran war.
Massie banked on his popularity with the podcast bros and the young translating to primary support.
Young people generally don’t vote in appreciable numbers outside major elections. Old people reliably do.
The polling indicated Massie was underwater with the old people in his district weeks ago. Seems he doubled down on the younger folks hoping that would push him over the hump.
