President Trump on Monday called for a fellow Republican to challenge Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) in a primary election over the congressman’s opposition to a continuing resolution that would keep the government from shutting down.
Massie, a hardline conservative, has pledged to vote against a Trump-backed measure that would increase defense spending while decreasing most non-defense spending below 2024 levels through the end of September.
The bill, which cleared the House Rules Committee on Monday, has earned the support of the conservative House Freedom Caucus and would avert a government shutdown from taking place at midnight Friday if it passes the full House and Senate.
Who cares about government spending besides Tom Massie in Congress?
