Scoop: MAGA Inc. drops big cash on anti-Massie TV ad

Zoom in: The Trump-aligned MAGA Inc. super PAC is planning to spend $800,000 on a new TV ad attacking Massie (R-Ky.) for "voting with the radical Democrats," according to a person familiar with the buy.

• The ad begins Tuesday and runs through July 28, and will air on broadcast stations in the Louisville, Kentucky, and Cincinnati media markets. It will also run on satellite stations and digitally.
• The group has already spent $1 million on a previous TV spot going after Massie.
• A Massie representative declined to comment.

State of play: Trump's operation is looking to recruit an opponent to Massie, who has easily survived primary challenges in the last three elections.

• One of the potential candidates is state Sen. Aaron Reed, a Navy SEAL veteran.
• Massie reported raising $586,000 during the second quarter and has $1.7 million in cash on hand.
