Overview

  • MAGA Kentucky, run by Trump advisers Chris LaCivita and Tony Fabrizio, deployed a $1 million ad campaign on Fox News, local TV stations in Cincinnati and Louisville, and targeted digital platforms.
  • The 30-second ad denounces Massie’s votes against Trump-backed border security and tax cuts and accuses him of siding with Democrats and Iran’s Ayatollah Khamenei over presidential strikes.
  • Massie countered by raising $177,394 from 1,900 donors this week, portraying the attack as an effort to punish GOP dissenters and mobilizing supporters around war powers independence.
  • AIPAC is fielding potential challengers in Massie’s district to pressure him over his opposition to foreign aid and ongoing Middle East conflicts.
  • Despite the coordinated assaults, Massie’s libertarian stance and fiscal hawk reputation have helped him fend off primary threats in his conservative Kentucky district.
