Collusion in Kentucky: Mitch McConnell’s Allies Plot to Take Out Trump-Aligned Trash Man Nate Morris

Matthew Boyle 13 Aug 2025 Washington, DC

Allies of longtime former Senate Majority Leader and outgoing Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) have been caught colluding in a nefarious plot to take down businessman Nate Morris, the U.S. Senate candidate most aligned with President Donald Trump, in next year’s GOP primary to replace McConnell.

There is a fierce multi-way primary going on to replace the retiring McConnell in Kentucky next year, and much to McConnell’s chagrin the race has turned into a referendum against his legacy. It’s so bad for McConnell that the Kentucky GOP, under serious pressure from Morris, abandoned a scheme this weekend to award McConnell the “lifetime achievement award” at its annual dinner headlined by emcee Scott Jennings and Sen. Jim Justice (R-WV) — instead just having McConnell give the award to a longtime activist.

“Morris took issue with McConnell’s presence even before the night began. In June, he criticized an invitation he received to the event that called on speakers to refrain from ‘speaking ill’ of Republicans who aren’t running for the Senate seat,” the Louisville Courier-Journal’s Lucas Aulbach reported from Lexington on Monday morning. “Morris at the time said he’d heard McConnell was set to receive a lifetime achievement award from the party at the dinner — that award was presented by McConnell to Cathy Bell, who’s held several roles with the state GOP over more than three decades.”

Morris has made criticism of McConnell’s strange anti-Trump behavior a centerpiece of his surprise bid for the U.S. Senate, catching McConnell allies and Morris rivals former Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron and Rep. Andy Barr (R-KY) off guard in a massive way. Morris’s meteoric rise from abject poverty to leading a major trash company has also been a core part of the Trump-aligned candidate’s message, as he rode in on a garbage truck discarding McConnell, Cameron, and Barr paraphernalia in his opening ad and has since captivated the attention of Republicans statewide and Trump supporters around the country.

Staff for the super PACs of Barr and Cameron have admitted to colluding on potential anti-Morris ads in a desperate bid both to rescue McConnell’s legacy and to slow the rise of another future U.S. Senator who would quite clearly move the state into the pro-Trump future.

The explosive revelation of collaboration was unearthed last week in a story by NOTUS journalist Reese Gorman, who ran it under this headline: “Team of Rivals? Inside the Weird Super PAC Pitch in the Kentucky GOP’s Senate Race.”

Problem is Nate Morris isn't exactly what you'd call a Trump guy...not if you look at his history.

He's trying to jump on the coattails of Trump now hoping it gets him elected.

That's apparently enough to get the Mitch McConnell lynch mob on him.

Same here...but unfortunately it's going to have to be either Barr or Cameron unless we want one of the blue city Dems...or possibly Beshear himself...to take the seat

Good luck! I'm focused on sending John Cornyn packing.
