Another Republican wants to replace Senator Mitch McConnell.

Nate Morris, a Lexington businessman, says he will run in next year's U.S. Senate primary.

He joins Congressman Andy Barr and former Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron.

Morris made his announcement during Donald Trump Junior's podcast triggered after careful reflection and prayer.

Talking to my wife, Jane.

I've decided to run for the United States Senate to replace Mitch McConnell here in Kentucky and finally bring this seat back to the people.

You know, as I started having these conversations about, the United States Senate seat here in Kentucky, everybody said on that this is McConnell seat, that it belongs to him, and that seat belongs to the people of Kentucky.

And I'm proud that I'm a ninth generation Kentuckian.

I was raised by a single mother.

When I came into the world, my mother was on food stamps, and we've been fighting and scrapping for everything we have.

Like most Kentuckians, 19 of my family members worked in an auto plant, and I've been able to live the American dream because of how great this country is.

And as you know, Dawn, I made I made money in garbage.

There's nothing more American than making money with trash.

And I think we've had a lot of it build up in Washington, D.C., and I think it's time to take out the trash in Washington, D.C. and bring something new.

Somebody from the outside, somebody that's not a career politician.

Now we're hearing from Morris's Republican opponents.

Congressman Barr says, quote, when Nate Morris says it's time to take out the trash, he must be talking about his own past.

Nate is the only candidate who didn't support Donald Trump in the 2024 primary.

He gave $5,000 to Nikki Haley and, quote, Daniel Cameron said this.

President Trump's America First movement is making our country greater than ever before.

The biggest threat here in Kentucky and to our movement is a globalist who dons a Maga hat and pretends to be America first.

Now that we're on the rise, Cameron also cited more support for Nikki Haley.
