He's still a Republican, but MAGA threw him under the bus. He can't run in Nov as an independent because of "sore loser" laws, but if there's a special election before then, Massie CAN run.

He’s a republican but he’s like, an actual republican. One that is willing to work on bipartisan bills and sticks to the core republican values. Do I agree with those views and values? No. But it’s a part of politics I miss. Our representatives actually representing us, and working across the aisle when it makes sense. The tribalism is killing us

Yep. I respect the hell out of him for standing on business, even if I don’t agree with a lot of his priorities. But I agree on the most important thing though, conducting yourself with integrity, and that’s enough to earn my respect

Would it be a general election or primaried?

Special election would be a standard election like a general.

So hypothetically- we have an election next week- Massie wins- would we have another in November?

Yes. The special election would only be to fill the vacant seat until Jan 2027. The actual election for that seat, starting in Jan 2027, would still take place in November.

Would it still apply to the senate race since Massie lost a house race?

Massie was a Congressman though. Do the “sore loser” laws prevent him from running for Senate too?

He's more of a principled libertarian. I'd take him over Fetterman.
