Massie Teases Senate Run - Jewish GOP Group Threatens 'Unlimited' Spending To Stop Him

Kentucky GOP Rep. Thomas Massie is teasing a potential run for Mitch McConnell's Senate seat in 2026, and a Jewish Republican group is already threatening to unleash "unlimited" spending to thwart any such bid, given his frequent opposition to legislation pushed by the pro-Israel lobby.

On Thursday, Massie posted a poll on X, asking if he should stay in the House, run for Senate in 2026, or run for governor in 2027. A Senate campaign was the choice of 67% of the respondents.

The libertarian-minded Massie opposes all foreign aid. At his own political peril, he dares to make no exception for the State of Israel, which is among the world's richest countries. He has also voted against legislation that would infringe on free speech by, for example, punishing colleges that allow students and professors to say the wrong things about Israel.

Add it all up and stir in the fact that he's a member of a party whose legislators almost universally toe the pro-Israel line and Massie is likely the House representative the pro-Israel lobby would most like to eliminate. The idea of him ascending to the Senate has pro-Israel forces racing to DEFCON1.

“If Tom Massie chooses to enter the race for US Senate in Kentucky, the RJC campaign budget to ensure he is defeated will be unlimited,” warned Republican Jewish Coalition CEO Matt Brooks in a statement to Jewish Insider.The Republican Jewish Coalition has tried to defeat Massie before. In 2020, the RJC backed Republican Todd McMurtry in challenging Massie in the GOP primary – only to see Massie trounce McMurtry in an 81% to 19% rout.

So intense is their opposition to Massie that last year, pro-Israel forces starting preemptively spending money to weaken Massie's Senate prospects. Despite the fact that Massie faced no viable GOP opponent nor any Democrat opponent at all, the intentionally-vaguely-named United Democracy Project the independent campaign-spending arm of the mighty American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) said it would spend $300,000 on ads on Fox television affiliates in Kentucky. "We are trying to shine a light on the radical anti-Israel record of Tom Massie," said spokesman Patrick Dorton. "We want every single voter in the state of Kentucky to know about his anti-Israel actions." Here's their over-the-top ad:

"Hold An Election": Musk Blasts Ukrainian Parliament Vote Affirming No Elections, Hailing Zelensky's 'Legitimacy'

On Tuesday Ukraine's parliament passed a resolution extending the mandate of President Volodymyr Zelensky until martial law is lifted. It comes amid growing pressure from Washington for the country to prepare for and hold a national election.

The vote reached the necessary majority, with 268 members voting in support of the resolution, with no abstentions or votes against, according to a statement by parliament deputy Yaroslav Zheleznyak. Several parliament members were absent, however.

"The Verkhovna Rada once again recalls that the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky was elected in free, transparent, democratic elections. His mandate is not called into question by the Ukrainian people or the Verkhovna Rada," the resolution read, which was intended as clear pushback against Trump. Zelensky's 'legitimacy' is also being declared in the vote.

President Trump shocked allies last week by calling Zelensky a "dictator without elections" who has refused to conform to democratic norms.

Interestingly, there was more resistance when a first-round vote was held Monday - suggesting things aren't so unanimous. According to a regional source, "The Verkhovna Rada first put the resolution to the vote on Monday, the third anniversary of the start of the war, when it was supported by 218 deputies, short of the required minimum of 226 votes for a vote to pass."

Zelensky has consistently argue country can't hold elections as martial law is still in effect, amid growing criticism that he's conspiring to merely stay in power. His term expired in May 2024, but he recently asserted, "I’m focusing on the survival of our country, and I am doing it really all my term."

"I’m ready to speak about elections if you want," he said, claiming that "Ukrainians don’t want, totally don’t want, because they are afraid, because otherwise we will lose the military loan, the war loan, our soldiers will come back home, and Putin will occupy all our territory."

Elon Musk among others begs to differ. He wrote on X in response to Tuesday's vote: "Hold an election".

Just so we’re all aware of how carelessly our politicians lie to us:

Here’s Dan Crenshaw on camera threatening to kill Tucker Carlson, quote tweeted above his post saying he never threatened to kill Tucker Carlson.
