Overview

  • Morris formally entered the race June 26 on Donald Trump Jr.’s podcast, branding himself an outsider and staunch MAGA supporter committed to “taking out the trash” in Washington.
  • He released a “Garbage Day” campaign video Friday showing himself riding a garbage truck across Kentucky and dumping cardboard cutouts of Mitch McConnell and items tied to his Senate record.
  • His campaign is staffed by veterans of Trump’s 2024 Vance operation, including leading pollsters, strategists and data consultants.
  • He will join activist Charlie Kirk at a Louisville-area event Monday to rally MAGA backers ahead of the May 19, 2026, GOP primary.
  • Morris is competing against Rep. Andy Barr and former Attorney General Daniel Cameron for the Republican nomination to succeed Mitch McConnell, with Democrat Pamela Stevenson also in the race.
