<p>Speaking to The Daily Wire on Wednesday morning, President Donald Trump called embattled Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) a &#8220;low life&#8221; and counted his ouster as a victory for the Republican Party.</p>
<p>&#8220;How are you feeling after this Massie defeat last night? What does it mean for the Republican party?&#8221; Daily Wire White House Correspondent Mary Margaret Olohan asked the president.</p>
<p>&#8220;We had a great number of victories — not just Massie,&#8221; Trump responded. &#8220;Massie is a low life.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We had a great number of victories,&#8221; the president added. &#8220;We won all races last night.&#8221;</p>
<p>Massie lost his primary election on Tuesday evening to Trump-backed challenger Ed Gallrein. Additionally, other Trump-aligned candidates scored victories, including in Georgia, Alabama, Indiana, and Louisiana, while anti-Trump candidates struggled.</p>
<p>&#8220;I know how to win,&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;I think I&#8217;ve proven that, haven&#8217;t I?&#8221;</p>

<p>On Truth Social, Trump posted about 37 different candidates with his backing who won their races. In another post, he said he had a 100% track record this election.</p>

<p>Gallrein, a retired Navy SEAL, got the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/team-trump-goes-all-out-to-oust-thomas-massie">backing</a> of President Trump after Massie bucked the president on the war in Iran, the Epstein files, the &#8220;Big Beautiful Bill,&#8221; and other issues.</p>
<p>Back in May 2025, Trump made clear that he would <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/just-another-grandstander-trump-backs-primary-challenge-to-thomas-massie?utm_source=chatgpt.com">support a primary challenger to Massie</a>, adding that he’d “lead the charge against him.”</p>
<p>Then, in November, Trump unleashed on the former ally.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Taking to Truth Social, the president <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-goes-nuclear-on-two-former-allies-says-hell-back-primary-challengers">wrote</a>, “Did Thomas Massie, sometimes referred to as Rand Paul Jr., because of the fact that he always votes against the Republican Party, get married already??? Boy, that was quick!”</p>
<p>Massie’s wife of over 31 years died in June 2024. Sixteen months after her passing, Massie married Carolyn Grace Moffa, 36, a former agriculture policy staffer for Senator Rand Paul.</p>
<p>“No wonder the Polls have him at less than an 8% chance of winning the Election,” Trump added. “Anyway, have a great life Thomas and (?). His wife will soon find out that she’s stuck with a LOSER!&#8221;</p>
<p>During Massie&#8217;s concession speech, he claimed he wasn&#8217;t running against Trump or even Gallrein. &#8220;We weren’t running against Ed Gallrein. We weren’t running against Donald Trump,&#8221; he said. &#8220;We were running for what we believe in.&#8221;</p>
<p>The ousted congressman also mocked Gallrein during his concession speech. &#8220;I would have come out sooner, but I had to call my opponent and concede, and it took a while to find Ed Gallrein in Tel Aviv,&#8221; he said.</p>
