Wealthy Kentucky business executive Nate Morris entered the race to succeed Mitch McConnell in the United States Senate, casting himself as the only political outsider in the field and an unwaveringly loyal supporter of President Trump. He announced his candidacy on a podcast hosted by the president's son Donald Trump Jr. The race is expected to be among the biggest and most expensive Republican primary battles of 2026. On his campaign website, Mr. Morris says he opposes "all forms of amnesty" for undocumented immigrants and wants to end birthright citizenship. He says he supports Mr. Trump's tariffs and wants to cut federal funding for schools and universities that "try to indoctrinate our kids with woke propaganda." The GOP Senator hopeful stated "We need a hard stop on immigration, right now." Link: Twitter.
