Republican Rep. Thomas Massie has made a habit of antagonizing Washington’s most powerful leaders in his party. But so far it hasn't eroded his support in his Kentucky district. In 2020, Massie drew the wrath of then-President Donald Trump when the congressman briefly delayed a COVID-19 relief package. Despite Trump's attacks on him, Massie cruised to reelection.
