Rep. Thomas Massie was declared the winner of the Republican primary in Kentucky’s 4th District on Tuesday, coasting to a comfortable win after President Donald Trump had called for him to be ousted from the GOP.
In the end, Massie’s race against lawyer Todd McMurtry was not in doubt despite criticism of the congressman for forcing House members to come back to Washington in March for debate on a widely supported roughly $2 trillion coronavirus response and aid package.
