Rep. Thomas Massie files paperwork to run in 2028, says he hasn’t made a ‘final decision’ about his political future

Fresh off last week’s primary loss, Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., announced Monday he had filed paperwork for a 2028 run for the House — or something else.

“I filed with the [Federal Election Commission] for the 2028 House race. This allows me to raise funds to continue my political operations supporting my position as a current office holder and as a potential candidate for federal office,” Massie wrote on X.

“I haven’t made a final decision about which office to seek, if I run,” he added.

In an interview Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Massie declined to rule out a 2028 presidential bid.

“I will not rule out anything, and right now I’m not going to rule in anything,” he said. He added, “I’ll take some time and decide what’s next, but I think I will stay engaged in some way or shape. Maybe it’s from the outside. I’ve been exposing what’s going on in Washington, D.C., for years, and I’ll keep doing it.”

Massie, who was first elected to the House in 2012, soundly lost a primary challenge last week to former Navy SEAL Ed Gallrein, who was backed by President Donald Trump.

Trump had labeled Massie a “disaster” and traveled to his district in March to boost Gallrein. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth also appeared at an event with Gallrein last week ahead of the primary.

Massie drew Trump’s ire over his opposition to the war in Iran and Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” spending package because it added to the deficit. He also teamed with Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., to pass the law to force the Justice Department to release files related to the investigation of late sex offender and onetime Trump friend Jeffrey Epstein.
