Nate Morris, a Republican businessman and tech entrepreneur, officially launched his campaign for the open U.S. Senate seat in Kentucky, vacated by Senator Mitch McConnell, ahead of the 2026 election. Morris positions himself as an anti-McConnell candidate, pledging to end McConnell's influence and legacy in Washington. He faces competition in the GOP primary from former gubernatorial candidate Daniel Cameron and Congressman Andy Barr.

Morris’s campaign has gained endorsements from conservative figures such as Charlie Kirk and the organization Turning Point Action. His campaign launch included a notable advertisement criticizing McConnell’s tenure, which Morris described as a "reign" he aims to end. Morris has also expressed loyalty to former President Donald Trump and received encouragement from Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr. His campaign events have drawn significant grassroots support, with large turnouts reported at rallies. Morris emphasizes his background as a businessman who "makes his living in garbage," contrasting himself with career politicians. The race is viewed as critical by supporters who seek change in the U.S. Senate representation from Kentucky.

Thank God both of you are leaving office. The races in Kentucky and North Carolina need to be won by America First patriots. Don’t be fooled by podcasters and consultants who are trying to convince you that certain candidates are MAGA. Those pesky receipts will get you.
