Thomas Massie has been steadily pressing forward with his discharge petition to force a floor vote on the Epstein Files Transparency Act. As of early September, he was just two Republican signatures short of the 218 needed to succeed. While Massie has managed to secure a handful of Republican allies, including figures like Marjorie Taylor Greene, Nancy Mace, and Lauren Boebert, most of the GOP has resisted. Party leadership and the White House have actively discouraged members from supporting Massie’s effort, favoring their own oversight mechanisms to control how and when the Epstein files might be released. This leaves Massie in a precarious spot—close enough to create serious pressure, but still vulnerable to stalling tactics within his own party.At the same time, Democrats have unified around the petition, with every member expected to sign. More importantly, the incoming Democrats from recent special elections have already indicated they will add their signatures as soon as they’re sworn in, potentially putting Massie over the top even without additional Republican support. This looming influx of Democratic votes creates a strategic safety net: even if GOP members hold back, the math still leans in Massie’s favor. In effect, the new Democratic arrivals could be the deciding factor that pushes the discharge petition across the finish line, ensuring a vote happens despite Republican reluctance.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Incoming Dems could move Thomas Massie's Epstein discharge petition over finish lineBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
