Trump and Massie clash on Spirit Airlines bailout
Published on April 25, 2026.
A potential 500-million-dollar bailout deal from the federal government could help Spirit Airlines stay afloat and prevent the airline from becoming the first significant US airline in 25 years to completely shut down due to financial trouble. The bailout is expected to include a federal government stake in the airline, which has been struggling financially since the pandemic. President Trump supports the deal, stating that it would be virtually debt-free and save jobs. However, Kentucky Representative Thomas Massie opposes the deal.
