Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) will head to Kentucky this weekend to campaign for Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), who is facing a tough primary challenger backed by President Donald Trump.
Boebert is one of only a few GOP lawmakers who have publicly supported Massie over the Trump-backed Ed Gallrein. She will join Massie for two events on Friday afternoon in Shelby County and Oldham County, Kentucky.
“Below is my friend Thomas Massie. He loves America and is fighting to save it,” Boebert wrote on X Friday. “Also below is my friend and President, Donald Trump. He’s put his life on the line to save this great country. I support both of these men. I’ve worked with both to preserve freedom and liberty.”
Massie is facing Gallrein in a May 19 primary. The race has drawn national interest, given Trump’s personal push to oust Massie. Groups aligned with the president are spending heavily against the incumbent.

Massie told reporters this week that he’s the “main event” on Trump’s revenge tour.
The Kentucky Republican has served in Congress for over a decade. In that time, he’s broken with Trump and GOP leadership on numerous issues, from spending to the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files.
