'I couldn't support him anymore': Voters react to Trump-endorsed Gallrein defeating Massie | whas11.com.LA GRANGE, Ky.— The customers in one Oldham County business paint part of the picture of how the Trump-endorsed Ed Gallrein knocked off incumbent Republican Rep.Thomas Massie, a day after the GOP primary in Kentucky's 4th congressional district.“I voted for Gallrein.I was really happy that he took over for Massie," Republican voter Joe Bertin, who lives in Henry County, told WHAS11 at The Coffeehouse & Cafe in La Grange.“He voted against a lot of things that I would have preferred he voted for.I think a lot of people felt that he was out of touch with the people and the needs or wants of the people." Gallrein won all but two counties in the district, defeating Massie by 10 points overall, a resounding victory for the president and his influence on the Republican Party.John Canfield of Henry County, which also went for Gallrein, had voted for Massie in the past, but not this time.“[He's] very anti our president, it seemed at times, and I just got to the point where I couldn't support him anymore," Canfield explained.“I saw Massie as almost what they would popularly call a RINO — Republican in name only.” University of Kentucky associate professor of political science Stephen Voss broke down the key takeaways of Gallrein’s victory.“The election was a referendum on Thomas Massie and his willingness to break from Republican party ranks, and enough voters were unhappy that Massie was not sticking with their party's president," Voss told WHAS11."It was Trump's anger at Massie that was the catalyst that finally gave Massie the challenge that he could have faced in a previous election." Voss explained that even in areas where the Republican electorate 'seemed likely to be Massie friendly,' he couldn't run up margins of victory."Gallrein was supposed to win in the more rural and small town parts of the 4th district, and he did win with fairly healthy margins," Voss said."Massie's strongholds, the suburbs and exurbs, didn't end up being the massive strongholds they were supposed to be." Jeff Baker is the owner of The Coffeehouse & Cafe in Oldham County, where Gallrein won by 5 points.“I was a little bit surprised at the outcome because I've heard a lot of people are disappointed in Massie, but they knew what they were getting, kind of," Baker said."And with Mr.Gallrein, I've heard through social media and different [TV] stations that he doesn't do a lot of interviews, doesn't ask a lot of questions.So, I was a little bit surprised at the outcome." WHAS11 did also find Massie supporters at the coffee shop, including Darlene Berhow of Oldham County.“I felt like he was working more for the people and not being a yes man," Berhow said.Meanwhile, independent voter Dale Gibson said, “I like the fact that he stood up, he said no, and it made Trump mad, and that's what cost him election.” While Massie has previously indicated that he’d be done with politics if he lost this race, it appears he’s entertaining a possible next chapter.During his concession speech, in which supporters encouraged him to run for president in 2028, the congressman responded, “What happens in 2028?...you made a compelling argument...and we’ll talk about it later." "His conciliation speech emphasized that he thought he was building a movement and that the battle wasn't done.So, who knows what Massie has planned next, but he sure was teasing the possibility that it's something other than retreating to private life," Voss said.Gallrein will face Melissa Strange, who won the Democratic primary for Kentucky's 4th congressional seat, in the November general election.
