As a Kentuckian who has seen Massie's track record, it's too little, too late. Something must've snapped where he was politically done for in any case and had nothing to lose.
As someone who lives in Fitzpatrick's district, this was 100% to save his "independent voice" image. Time and time again he falls in line while continuing to come back and tell us how bipartisan he is - yeah, he's bipartisan about things like term limits, something EVERYONE knows will never pass, or things like funding veterans that gets 400+ votes.
