Thomas Massie revealed that he is “not ruling out” a presidential run after his bruising battle with President Donald Trump and the MAGA voters.
Fresh off his double-digit primary drubbing last week in Kentucky’s deep-red 4th Congressional District – one of the most expensive House races in history, the anti-Trump congressman appeared on NBC’s far-left Meet the Press Sunday and refused to close the door on a White House run.
When host Kristen Welker asked about the chants of “President! President!” from his die-hard supporters at his concession speech, Massie smirked and said:
He wouldn’t even commit to running as a Republican, adding he “won’t rule out a run for county commissioner,” the job he once called the best in politics.
Kristen Welker:
Congressman, I want to ask about your political future. Some of your supporters were chanting, “President! President!” as you delivered your speech on Tuesday night. Are you considering a run for president in 2028?
Thomas Massie:
I will not rule out anything. And right now, I’m not going to rule in anything. Look, I’ve spent the last five days on my farm with my grandkids, my cattle, and my peach trees, and it’s a pretty nice life. I don’t know if I want to screw that up again. I’ve been in Congress for 14 years, fighting.
Every hour that passes, I get decompressed a little bit more. It’s like coming up from the bottom of the ocean. I’ll take some time and decide what’s next. But I think I will stay engaged in some way, shape, or form. Maybe it’s from the outside. I’ve been exposing what’s going on in Washington, D.C., for years, and I’ll keep doing it.
Kristen Welker:
Congressman, I hear you not ruling a potential run for president out. Would you run as a Republican?
Thomas Massie:
I won’t rule anything out. I won’t rule out a run for county commissioner. I used to be the county judge-executive here. That was probably the best job I ever had in politics.

Thomas Massie broke into a grin when Kristen Welker asked about his political future, saying he “will not rule out” a 2028 presidential run—and declined to confirm whether he’d even run as a Republican:
