Trump backs Barr to lead Kentucky GOP in McConnell’s open Senate seat
President Donald Trump endorsed Rep. Andy Barr for Kentucky’s open Senate seat, prompting Nate Morris to drop out after Trump urged him to accept an ambassadorship; Morris then endorsed Barr, who said the endorsement shows he’ll stand with Trump to deliver the America First agenda as Kentucky voters prepare for the May 19 GOP primary for McConnell’s seat.
