Trump Picks Barr Over Musk-Backed Rival in Kentucky Senate Race

President Donald Trump endorsed Representative Andy Barr, one of the Republicans running to replace former Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell in Kentucky’s primary election later this month.

Trump said he’s supporting Barr in the May 19 primary, passing over former Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron. “Andy is the only Candidate who will easily defeat the Democrat in what will be one of the most importation Elections in American History,” the president said Friday evening on his Truth Social platform.
