The Frankfort LINK: Former NKY attorney Eric Deters ‘99%’ sure he’s going to run against Thomas Massie

Former Northern Kentucky Attorney Eric Deters said he's "99%" sure he'll run against Rep. Thomas Massie in the Republican primary for the 4th Congressional District in 2024.  Deters, fresh off running for the Republican nominee for Kentucky governor, sent out a Tweet and an email saying, "I will announce my decision to run against Thomas Massie at Patriot Freedom Fest September 9." In the three-minute video release about the potential announcement, Deters said he'd make the announcement at Freedom Fest — Deters' annual political picnic, where he invites top Republican names from around the country, such as the Trump brothers.  Deters said he might choose to run because of two of Rep. Massie's recent votes.  Listen to hear more about why Deters said he's going to run against Massie.

The Frankfort LINK: Massie’s ‘yes’ vote key to passing of debt limit bill

Northern Kentucky Congressman Thomas Massie voted in favor of the debt limit bill that suspends the country’s borrowing limit until January 2025 and reduces the federal deficit but also showed support for spending cut provisions if Congress doesn’t pass mandatory appropriation bills.   Massie’s vote just days earlier in the House Rules Committee, however, proved crucial to the Fiscal Responsibility Act moving to a House floor vote, where it passed Wednesday night. It then passed the Senate on Thursday.   The 99-page bill suspends the $31.4 Trillion debt limit until January 2025. It cuts federal spending by $1.5 trillion over the next decade, according to the Congressional Budget Office, which includes $11 billion returned from COVID-19 pandemic funding.   The Rules Committee voted 7-6 on a rule that governed debate over the debt bill, which ensured the bill reached the House and would pass the lower chamber — Massie’s ‘yes’ vote gave the rule a narrow margin that allowed the bill to pass by the June 5 deadline to avoid default.   Listen to hear more on this week's episode.
