Overview
- Gallrein moved ahead in a Quantus Insights survey released Wednesday, leading Massie 48.3% to 43.1% among likely GOP voters, with an eight-point edge once leaners are included.
- Outside groups have poured more than $25 million into the race, with pro‑Israel organizations such as the Republican Jewish Coalition and the AIPAC‑affiliated United Democracy Project spending millions to defeat Massie.
- The U.S. Chamber of Commerce endorsed Gallrein on Thursday, adding to Trump’s backing and reinforcing national GOP support for the challenger.
- A former girlfriend accused Massie this week of offering her $5,000 to drop a complaint tied to an ally; Massie called the claims false and said he has never paid for anyone’s silence.
- The contest has drawn scrutiny over a Massie‑allied PAC ad that used a rainbow Star of David to target Jewish donor Paul Singer, and Massie has since promoted an “AIPAC Act” to force pro‑Israel advocates to register as foreign agents, underscoring how Israel policy fights have shaped the race.
