GOP megadonor Paul Singer was the largest donor to a super PAC seeking to oust Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) last month, according to a filing submitted to the Federal Election Commission on Thursday.
The group, MAGA KY, raised $2 million between its launch in late June and the end of the month:
$1 million from Singer
$250,000 from hedge fund manager John Paulson
$750,000 from Preserve America PAC, a super PAC tied to Miriam Adelson that backed President Donald Trump last year
Trump allies launched the super PAC last month after Massie voted against Trump’s signature “Big, Beautiful Bill.” The Kentucky lawmaker has also criticized the president on a range of other issues including war powers and the Epstein files. MAGA KY has spent $1.2 million so far on ads opposing Massie, according to AdImpact, as the group aims to take him out in next year’s primary.
Massie, who has staved off primary challengers before, has raised just over $1 million this year, and he ended June with $1.7 million in the bank. It is not yet clear which Republican might be favored by Trump to challenge him.
