Thomas Massie is the most prominent Republican who’s criticized policies of DJT and the “Israel Lobby.” Recent polls show Massie might lose re-election to a MAGA retired Navy Seal.

Still, much of Gallrein’s campaign “is being underwritten by three pro-Israel billionaires with deep pockets, including GOP megadonors Paul Singer and John Paulson. Another major donor against Massie’s reelection has been Miriam Adelson, widow of the casino magnate Sheldon Adelson, who was a fierce defender of Israel” as well as President Trump’s most prominent donor and supporter.

Massie has also received more than $1 million from a PAC funded by libertarian-leaning billionaire Jeff Yass, a long-time supporter of Sen. Rand Paul, who is also from Kentucky. Yass, according to Bloomberg, is the 27th wealthiest person in the world.

Massie, who holds two degrees from MIT, is seeking his 8th term in Congress. In his recent races, he has won his Republican primary by vote totals ranging from 75 to 80 percent.

President Trump won Massie’s Congressional District by 34 percent in the 2024 Presidential Race.

Given that the election is clearly a proxy to gauge support for President Trump, “support for Israel” and the Iran War – and whether it’s possible for any prominent Republican politician to win an election after going toe-to-toe with Donald Trump – political junkies will no doubt be watching tomorrow night’s election results with intense interest.
