Daniel Cameron said he would stay in Kentucky’s Republican Senate primary after President Donald Trump endorsed Rep. Andy Barr, and announced a statewide voter tour. The story also reports that Nate Morris left the race and endorsed Barr after Trump offered him an ambassadorship.
Cameron said he would not drop out of the Republican primary and announced a “Kentucky First” tour ahead of the May 19 primary. He criticized Barr’s backing from what he called the “McConnell Machine,” while saying he was focused on Kentucky voters. Trump had previously endorsed Barr, describing him as a “Proven Political Winner.”
Trump offered another candidate, Nate Morris, an unspecified ambassadorship; Morris then left the race and endorsed Barr. A Barr spokesperson said Barr had held more than 200 Kentucky events and criticized Cameron’s campaign travel. Rep. Thomas Massie said internal polling he had seen showed Cameron was “surprisingly resilient” in Massie’s district, and offered his interpretation of Trump’s moves in the race.
