Donald Trump endorsed Andy Barr in Kentucky’s Republican Senate primary and asked Nate Morris to leave the race for an administration role. Morris left the race and endorsed Barr. Left-leaning outlets frame Trump’s move as a strategic intervention in the primary. Center outlets largely report the endorsement and Morris’s departure as developments reshaping the contest.
