💨 Abstract

In Kentucky, Republican Nate Morris is challenging the legacy of retiring Sen. Mitch McConnell while attacking McConnell's loyalty to Trump and his handling of immigration and national debt. Morris faced pushback from party activists and rivals, but he continues to criticize McConnell's age and health. McConnell, meanwhile, has endorsed Trump and drew cheers for supporting Trump’s actions on Iran. Morris' blunt attacks could resonate with Trump supporters but risk alienating established Republicans.
