U.S. President Donald Trump threatened a primary challenge against hardline conservative U.S. Representative Lauren Boebert after she campaigned for maverick Representative Thomas Massie in his Kentucky district.
"Boebert is campaigning for the Worst 'Republican' Congressman in the History of our Country, Thomas Massie," Trump wrote on Truth Social.
Trump has vowed to unseat Massie, a Republican who has defied the president over major legislation and the Iran war.
The president’s quest to unseat Massie poses a test for his hold on the Republican Party.
Trump’s social media post came hours after Boebert made campaign appearances for Massie, who faces Trump-endorsed challenger Ed Gallrein in Tuesday’s Republican primary in Kentucky.
"Is anyone interested in running against Weak Minded Lauren Boebert in Colorado’s Fourth Congressional District?" Trump posted.
