Former President Donald Trump announced his support Tuesday for Ed Gallrein, a former Navy SEAL, in the race for Kentucky’s 4th Congressional District currently represented by Thomas Massie.
Trump revealed his backing of Gallrein through a social media post on Tuesday, targeting the seat currently occupied by one of his sharpest Republican detractors in the House.
The relationship between Trump and Massie has deteriorated over recent months, with the Kentucky representative consistently demanding transparency regarding documents connected to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation. Massie has also been vocal in his disapproval of how the Trump administration addressed Epstein-related matters.
In his Tuesday endorsement announcement, Trump continued his pattern of public criticism directed at Massie, reinforcing the ongoing tension between the former president and the Kentucky congressman.
