(PatriotNews.net) – Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) has thrown his support behind Donald Trump for the 2024 presidential election, announcing his endorsement online Friday. Massie expressed his enthusiasm for Trump’s policies, saying he believes Trump will prioritize Americans’ liberties and keep the nation out of unnecessary wars.
Massie wrote in a post on X, “I’m honored to endorse Donald Trump for the White House. Trump will put Americans first by securing our freedoms at home and avoiding needless conflicts abroad.” Massie highlighted that Trump aims to “Make America Healthy Again” by supporting small farmers and challenging big interests in the healthcare system. He also noted that Trump is committed to freeing Ross Ulbricht, who Massie says received an unfair prison sentence.
Massie continued by encouraging all voters, including conservatives, independents, and libertarians, to support Trump. He emphasized his belief that Trump’s plans and goals align with American values and would be a positive choice for the country’s future.
Known for his libertarian-leaning stance, Massie often doesn’t go along with the standard GOP line on certain issues. His endorsement might sway voters who are more libertarian-minded and have been uncertain about Trump. By aligning with Trump, Massie could bring over those who were on the fence, potentially giving the GOP nominee more traction among independents and libertarians as Election Day approaches.
Meanwhile, the Libertarian Party has nominated Chase Oliver for the 2024 race. Oliver became the Libertarian candidate in May, but he’s expected to have a small share of the vote, likely staying in the single digits. Oliver has supported left-wing causes in the past, such as the Antifa-linked “Stop Cop City” movement and other controversial initiatives. His stance has created division among libertarians, with some backing his campaign and others moving their support to Trump instead.
Massie’s endorsement adds weight to Trump’s campaign, especially among libertarian and independent voters who see Trump as a better fit for their values. With just weeks until the election, Massie’s support could give Trump an extra boost in reaching those undecided or leaning voters who may otherwise consider other candidates.
