• Kentucky Congressman Thomas Massie introduces the "Dual Loyalty Disclosure Act" to require federal candidates to disclose dual citizenship.
  
  
• The bill mandates public disclosure of any foreign citizenship, including the specific country, in campaign filings.
  
  
• Massie calls for renunciation of foreign citizenship by Members of Congress to avoid conflicts of interest.
  
  
• The legislation has garnered cosponsors but faces an uphill battle in Congress amid likely opposition.
  
  
• The bill is part of a broader push for "America First" policies to ensure elected officials prioritize U.S. interests over foreign ties.
  

In a bold move to address what he sees as a critical threat to American sovereignty, Kentucky Congressman Thomas Massie has introduced the "Dual Loyalty Disclosure Act," targeting the practice of Members of Congress holding dual citizenship. This legislation comes amid growing concerns that elected officials with ties to foreign nations may prioritize the interests of those countries over the welfare of their constituents.

On Wednesday, Massie unveiled the bill, which requires all federal candidates to publicly disclose any foreign citizenship, including the specific country, in their campaign filings. This move aims to shed light on potential conflicts of interest and ensure that Members of Congress remain solely loyal to the United States. The bill, however, faces an uphill battle in Congress, with critics warning that it may struggle to gain traction in a political landscape heavily influenced by foreign lobbying groups.

The background of dual citizenship in Congress
Dual citizenship among Members of Congress is not a new phenomenon, but its implications have increasingly come under scrutiny. Critics argue that elected officials with dual citizenship may find themselves torn between the interests of their U.S. constituents and those of their foreign homeland. Such conflicts could lead to biased decision-making, particularly on issues related to foreign policy, military aid, and trade agreements. For instance, a Member of Congress with dual citizenship in Israel may face pressure to support policies that benefit Israel, even if those policies conflict with American national interests.

Historically, the United States has always valued the contributions of immigrants and their descendants, but the line between cultural heritage and political loyalty has become increasingly blurred. The current Congress includes several Members who hold dual citizenship, raising questions about their ability to serve American interests without bias. Massie's bill seeks to address this issue by requiring transparency, allowing voters to make informed choices about their representatives.

A threat to American sovereignty
Massie's proposal strikes at the heart of what it means to be a faithful representative of the American people. He has repeatedly criticized the influence of foreign lobbying groups, such as AIPAC, which he claims exert undue influence over U.S. foreign policy. In introducing the Dual Loyalty Disclosure Act, Massie emphasizes that elected officials must prioritize the needs of their districts and the nation over those of foreign entities.

"Members of Congress elected with the support of American voters should not have divided loyalties," Massie declared in a recent statement. "Dual citizens in Congress are a risk to our democracy, as they may prioritize the interests of another nation over those of the American people. At the very least, they should be forced to disclose their ties to foreign countries so that voters can assess their loyalties before casting their ballots."

The political backlash and future prospects
Massie's bill has already sparked fierce debate, with supporters hailing it as a much-needed step toward restoring accountability and trust in government. Critics, however, have leveled accusations of anti-Semitism, particularly following Massie's criticism of AIPAC. Florida Congressman Randy Fine, a vocal defender of Israel, accused Massie of anti-Semitic motives after he called for greater scrutiny of Members of Congress with dual citizenship.

Despite the backlash, Massie remains undeterred. "This is not about targeting any specific group," he said. "It's about ensuring that Members of Congress remain first and foremost loyal to the United States. If Congress is to truly represent the American people, it must free itself from the fetters of foreign influence."

The bill's prospects in the House remain uncertain, with many expecting it to face strong opposition, particularly from Members of Congress who may have their own dual citizenship ties. In a recent tweet, former President Donald Trump hinted at his support for Fine, signaling that opposition to the bill may gain momentum.

As the Dual Loyalty Disclosure Act makes its way through Congress, one cannot help but wonder: How many more Members of Congress are conflicted by dual citizenship, and how much longer will American sovereignty be compromised by foreign influence? Congressman Massie's bill is a much-needed wake-up call, forcing the nation to confront the reality that elected officials must be fully committed to the United States. Whether Congress will heed this call, however, remains to be seen.

HEBRON, Ky. (AP) — Kentucky U.S. Rep. Thomas Massie lost his Republican House primary Tuesday in another test of President Donald Trump’s power over his party after he handpicked challenger and ultimate winner Ed Gallrein to oust the incumbent.

The result showed the president’s persisting influence over GOP voters and added to a growing number of Trump-backed primary challengers to defeat Republican lawmakers who angered him in his second term, including Sen. Bill Cassidy in Louisiana and several Indiana state senators who defied him on redistricting.

Massie, who has served in Congress since 2012, is one of the last and most outspoken holdouts. He pushed for the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files, criticized the war in Iran and voted against the president’s signature tax legislation last year. Still, he tried to convince voters that they could be for both him and Trump.

In the evening, after the primary result was known, Massie took the stage before a fired-up crowd that cheered and chanted throughout his speech, including slogans such as “no more wars” and “America First!”

“We stirred up something. There is a yearning in this country for someone who will vote for principles over party,” Massie said.

Massie Out: Gallrein Wins Kentucky Republican Primary

Update (2000ET): In one of the most expensive primaries on record (with more than $32 million spent on political ads, according to the firm AdImpact), Former Navy SEAL Ed Gallrein has won the Republican primary in Kentucky’s 4th Congressional District over Rep. Thomas Massie, NBC News projects, notching another win for President Trump in his push to eliminate political rivals and roadblocks within his own party.

With 58% of the vote counted, Gallrein had about 54% to Massie’s 46%, DDHQ reported.

Gallrein, 68, is a relative newcomer to politics. He ran a low-key campaign by refusing to debate Massie and generally avoiding the press. His chief selling points were his military service, his endorsement by Trump and his promise to be a reliable vote for the president’s policies.


Massie’s defeat follows other losses this month by Republican state lawmakers in Indiana who had resisted a Trump-backed congressional redistricting push. Five challengers endorsed by Trump defeated sitting state senators in their primaries.

Elsewhere

• Georgia: Early counts show Lt. Gov. Burt Jones (Trump-endorsed) and businessman Rick Jackson neck-and-neck in the GOP gubernatorial primary (likely runoff). On the Democratic side, Keisha Lance Bottoms leads strongly. In the GOP Senate primary to challenge Sen. Jon Ossoff, Rep. Mike Collins appears to be in the driver’s seat.
  
  
• Alabama, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Idaho: Mostly early returns or no major surprises yet. Expect incumbents or clear frontrunners (e.g., Tommy Tuberville in AL Gov, Christine Drazan in OR GOP Gov) to advance. Pennsylvania’s congressional primaries and other down-ballot races are developing but less nationally explosive so far.

So far tonight has demonstrated continued Trump influence in GOP primaries, particularly the high-stakes ousting of Massie after years of friction over spending, foreign policy, and party loyalty. The safely Republican nature of KY-04 means Gallrein is now heavily favored for November.

Today, voters in Georgia, Kentucky, Alabama, Oregon, Pennsylvania, and Idaho head to the polls for several primary elections that will affect key gubernatorial, House, Senate, and statewide contests ahead of the November midterms.


The Epoch Times' Jackson Richman gives us the lay of the land (emphasis, charts, clips and any snark - ours...);

Kentucky
There are a few competitive races in the Bluegrass State.

The most closely watched race is in the state’s Fourth Congressional District, where incumbent Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) faces retired Navy SEAL Ed Gallrein. President Donald Trump endorsed Gallrein after criticizing Massie over several votes he took in Congress. Trump has had success backing primary challengers and knocking off incumbents in several primary elections, including in Indiana and Louisiana.


The district includes the Kentucky suburbs of Cincinnati, part of northern Kentucky, and the outskirts of Louisville, consisting of coal towns and rural villages in the Appalachian foothills.

It has become the most expensive House primary in history.

Federal Election Commission data, which include campaign ad spending and other costs, show that candidate campaigns and political parties have spent an estimated $35 million on the race, according to Quiver Quantitative. And according to AdImpact, more than $25 million has been spent on digital, radio, and television ads.

Massie’s campaign has said it has mainly relied on grassroots fundraising. He has received support from the Kentucky First PAC, backed by Pennsylvania billionaire and major TikTok investor Jeff Yass, which contributed $1 million in support, and the Make Liberty Win PAC, which poured in $518,205.

Super PACs have favored Gallrein, contributing more than $16.4 million in his support.



The Republican Jewish Coalition Victory Fund poured in another $470,000 of spending against Massie over the weekend, according to Quiver Quantitative.

Given the district’s strong Republican lean, the GOP nominee is expected to be favored in the general election.
Meanwhile, the race to succeed retiring Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is on as Rep. Andy Barr (R-Ky.), former Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron, and nine other candidates run in the GOP primary. Trump has endorsed Barr.
Former state Rep. Charles Booker and Amy McGrath, who unsuccessfully ran for Senate in 2020, as well as five other candidates are running in the Democratic primary.

Polls project a Barr-Booker matchup.

Georgia
Georgia voters will cast ballots in high-profile primaries for governor, U.S. Senate, U.S. House, and several statewide offices.
The race to replace term-limited Gov. Brian Kemp, a Republican, has drawn crowded fields in both parties.

On the Republican side, candidates include Attorney General Chris Carr, Lt. Gov. Burt Jones, health care executive Rick Jackson, and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. Jones has secured an endorsement from Trump.

Another closely watched contest is the Republican Senate primary to challenge incumbent Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-Ga.) in November. The field includes Reps. Buddy Carter and Mike Collins, along with former football coach Derek Dooley. Although Trump has stayed neutral in the race, Kemp has endorsed Dooley. Polls show Collins in the lead.

Alabama
Alabama voters will decide key primaries for governor, U.S. Senate, and Congress.

In the Republican gubernatorial primary, Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) faces insurance agent Ken McFeeters and event center operations manager Will Santivasci. Trump has endorsed Tuberville.

The Republican Senate primary features Rep. Barry Moore (R-Ala.), Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall, and four other candidates. Trump has endorsed Moore. The most recent polls show Moore leading. Democrats competing for the nomination include business owner Kyle Sweetser, pet care entrepreneur Dakarai Larriett, chemist Mark Wheeler II, and attorney Everett Wess.

Alabama’s redistricting process following a Supreme Court decision has also created an open race in the heavily Republican First Congressional District. Republican candidates include former Rep. Jerry Carl (R-Ala.), state Rep. Rhett Marques, and several other contenders. Clyde Jones is expected to secure the Democratic nomination.

Oregon
Oregon’s primary ballot includes races for governor, U.S. Senate, and Congress.

Gov. Tina Kotek, a Democrat, is seeking reelection as multiple challengers attempt to unseat her. Republicans vying for the nomination include Marion County Commissioner Danielle Bethell, state Rep. Ed Diehl, state Sen. Christine Drazan, and former Portland Trail Blazer Chris Dudley.

Will Christine Drazan win the 2026 Oregon Governor Republican primary election?

View full market & trade on PolymarketIn the Senate race, incumbent Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) faces a Democratic primary challenge from retired electrical engineer Paul Wells. On the Republican side, candidates include former Senate nominee Jo Rae Perkins and state Sen. David Brock Smith.

Most of Oregon’s congressional races are expected to favor incumbents, but the Fifth Congressional District could emerge as a competitive general election battleground after Democrats reclaimed the seat in 2024. Republican candidates in the district include Deschutes County Commissioner Patti Adair and political communications consultant Jonathan Lockwood.

Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania’s marquee races include contests for governor and several competitive House districts.

The gubernatorial race is all but set with incumbent Gov. Josh Shapiro, a Democrat, facing Pennsylvania State Treasurer Stacy Garrity in November. There are no opponents to those candidates.

However, several congressional districts feature contested Democratic primaries.

In the state’s First Congressional District, the Democratic primary to take on incumbent Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.) includes Bucks County Commission Chair Bob Harvie and mathematician Lucia Simonelli.

Pennsylvania’s Third Congressional District, in Philadelphia, features a Democratic primary to replace retiring Rep. Dwight Evans. The candidates include state Rep. Chris Rabb and state Sen. Sharif Street. Rabb has earned endorsements from progressive figures including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), while Street has the support of Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.).

Will Chris Rabb be the Democratic nominee for PA-03?
Yes 65% · No 36%

Brooks has been endorsed by Shapiro and members of Congress such as Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.). Rep. Ryan Mackenzie (R-Pa.) flipped the district from Democratic to Republican in 2024.

In the Eighth Congressional District, incumbent Republican Rep. Rob Bresnahan is expected to face Scranton Mayor Paige Cognetti in a competitive general election matchup.

The Democratic primary in the 10th Congressional District pits Dauphin County Commissioner Justin Douglas against former news anchor Janelle Stelson for the opportunity to challenge Republican Rep. Scott Perry. Stelson barely lost the 2024 race to Perry.

Idaho
Idaho voters will weigh in on Senate and gubernatorial primaries.

Incumbent Sen. Jim Risch (R-Idaho) faces three Republican challengers: data engineer Joe Evans, entrepreneur Denny LaVé, and engineer Josh Roy. Trump has endorsed Risch. The Democratic primary includes estate executive Nickolas Bonds, lifelong Democrat Brad Moore, and realtor David Roth, who unsuccessfully ran for Senate in 2022.

In the race for governor, incumbent Brad Little, a Republican, faces a primary challenge from seven candidates, while the Democratic primary includes small-business owner Jill Kirkham, former Twin Falls Director of Transportation Maxine Durand, attorney Terri Pickens, and Chanelle Torrez.
