GOP Lawmakers Criticize Trump's Call for Primary Challenger in Florida Race

The controversy highlights internal GOP tensions and the lingering feud between Trump and DeSantis.

Republican Representative Thomas Massie criticizes Donald Trump for targeting fellow GOP lawmaker Laurel Lee in Florida's 15th Congressional District, calling it 'ridiculous bullying tactics'.
Trump's call for a MAGA challenger against Lee follows her switch from endorsing Ron DeSantis to supporting Trump after DeSantis suspended his presidential campaign.
Several Trump supporters, including former state lawmaker Jackie Toledo and far-right activist Laura Loomer, express interest in running against Lee.
Critics within the GOP, including Representative Chip Roy, support Massie's condemnation of Trump's actions, highlighting internal party tensions.
The incident underscores the ongoing feud between Trump and DeSantis, with Lee's initial endorsement of DeSantis and subsequent switch to Trump at the heart of the controversy.
