Rep. Thomas Massie reveals campaign cash haul since Trump targeted him

Rep. Thomas Massie has seen a surge in campaign donations in response to President Donald Trump’s recent attacks on him. Massie revealed that he had received an impressive $261,000 in donations from 3,203 individual donors in just a few days, boosting his campaign funds to over $1.1 million.

In a statement to Fox News Digital, Massie expressed gratitude for the outpouring of support he had received. He highlighted that his fundraising record had been shattered in the wake of Trump’s criticism and noted that his history of prioritizing America and his constituents had resonated with voters in Kentucky.

Massie acknowledged that he had faced opponents in his previous primaries who had attempted to align themselves with Trump but had ultimately been unsuccessful. He emphasized the importance of running well-funded campaigns to secure victory, citing the $2,000,000 spent during his 2020 primary campaign when Trump criticized him for opposing COVID bailouts.

Following Trump’s attack on Massie for voting against a government funding measure, the congressman took to social media to solicit donations. Massie’s campaign account on X reported a steady increase in donations, with the lawmaker urging supporters to help him reach fundraising milestones.

When asked about the possibility of using the funds for a Senate campaign, Massie confirmed that it was a viable option. He had previously conducted a poll on his social media accounts to gauge interest in running for the U.S. Senate in 2026 or governor in 2027.

Trump’s criticism of Massie intensified, with the former president pledging to lead an effort to oust the congressman. Massie responded by calling for grassroots donations to support his campaign, emphasizing the need for principled representation in Congress.

Despite facing backlash from Trump, Massie maintained his stance and voted against the government funding measure endorsed by the former president. Trump continued to attack Massie on social media, accusing him of grandstanding and questioning his voting record.

Massie pushed back against Trump’s claims, clarifying his position on previous votes and defending his consistent approach to legislation. Despite the criticism, Massie remained steadfast in his commitment to representing his constituents and upholding his principles.

The congressman’s resolute stand against Trump’s attacks has garnered support from donors and voters alike. As he faces potential challenges in upcoming elections, Massie is focused on building a strong campaign and continuing to advocate for the issues that matter most to his constituents.
