KY-SEN: Businessman Nate Morris (R) launches Kentucky Senate bid
Kentucky businessman Nate Morris launched his Senate bid on Thursday in an effort to replace the state’s senior lawmaker, Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), who said he would not seek reelection earlier this year.
Morris announced his bid on Donald Trump Jr.’s podcast, “Triggered with Don Jr.,” telling the president’s oldest son he wanted to help “take out the trash” in Washington.
“I think it’s time to take out the trash in Washington, D.C., and bring someone new, somebody from the outside, somebody that’s not a career politician and most importantly, someone that’s only beholden to the people, not to McConnell cronies and the people that have been occupying this seat through McConnell over the last 40 years,” he said on the Thursday episode.
Morris’s comments come after months of criticism for McConnell, who has voted against key policies for the Trump agenda while painting himself as a firebrand “America First candidate.”
