Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) on Friday vowed to back his colleague in the lower chamber, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), throughout a contentious primary challenge in their home state.
Last week, former President Donald Trump endorsed Ed Gallrein to unseat Massie in Kentucky’s 2026 GOP primary. This endorsement came after Massie initiated a bipartisan resolution to unseal files tied to ongoing investigations.
With the primary battle heating up, Sen. Paul’s support signals a united front among some Kentucky Republicans as the race intensifies. Both lawmakers have maintained strong conservative records, making this primary a closely watched contest ahead of the 2026 elections.
