Trump threatens primary challenge against boebert over massie support

President Donald Trump has threatened to back a primary opponent against Representative Lauren Boebert after she campaigned for Representative Thomas Massie. The move comes amid ongoing tensions within the Republican Party over Massie's primary race in Kentucky.

In posts on Truth Social Saturday night, Trump criticized Boebert for supporting Massie and labeled her weak-minded. He stated that anyone backing the Kentucky congressman deserved a primary challenge and suggested he might withdraw his earlier endorsement of Boebert if a suitable candidate emerged.
