Thomas Massie

Massie has been the most consistent opponent in the House of the war in Iran and of foreign lobbying, and he joined Ro Khanna in forcing the House vote that released the Epstein files. He votes against the tariffs and much of the Society's economic program, and his skepticism of American power runs further than the Society's. He leaves the House in January, and prediction markets rate him among the Republicans most likely to run in 2028.
