Trump Touts Cutting Drug Prices, Slams Fellow Republican Rep. Massie During Stops in Ohio, Kentucky
Trump endorsed Ed Gallrein to unseat Rep. Massie, criticizing Massie as a disruptive Republican while promoting his administration’s drug price reductions, amid economic challenges.
- On March 11, 2026, President Donald Trump toured Thermo Fisher Scientific in suburban Cincinnati promoting lower drug prices, then attacked Rep. Thomas Massie and endorsed challenger Ed Gallrein for May 19.
- Facing pressure from market volatility after military action, polls showing voter concerns revealed Americans were wary of Trump’s economic handling before the war in Iran, with employers cutting 92,000 jobs in February and trimming 69,000 more.
- At the Kentucky rally, Trump called Rep. Thomas Massie 'stupid' and a 'disaster', then summoned Ed Gallrein to declare, 'Tom Massie stands with the ladies of 'The View.'
- Stress the stakes, Trump told supporters 'The midterms are going to be very, very important to keep it going', while Rep. Thomas Massie said the endorsement is 'all my opponent has going for him' and called Gallrein a 'rubber stamp'.
- Massie remains a notable intra-party dissenter, opposing the White House-backed tax and spending measure while pushing to release Jeffrey Epstein files and criticizing U.S. actions in Venezuela and Iran during the broader tour aimed at kitchen-table economic issues.
