Before the Attacks, Senate Candidates Seek to Define Themselves in Kentucky

KENTUCKY, AUG 01 – Nate Morris removed tweets on circular economy and World Environment Day to align with his anti-Environmental Social and Governance stance ahead of his Senate run, statements show.

  • Three Republican candidates, including Nate Morris, are competing to replace Senator Mitch McConnell at the Fancy Farm picnic in Graves County, Kentucky, Saturday 2025.
  • The competition follows Mitch McConnell's February 2025 announcement that he will retire at the end of his current term, setting the stage for a heated GOP primary.
  • Morris runs an anti-establishment campaign opposing DEI and ESG mandates and has faced criticism from rivals Barr and Cameron over past DEI commitments and deleted environmental tweets.
  • Donald Trump Jr. endorsed Morris's anti-ESG stance, stating Morris is “100% aligned” in fighting ESG and woke capital, while Morris pledged policies such as mass deportations and opposing gun control.
  • The event draws as many as 12,000 attendees, with Morris emphasizing the seat's national importance, while Fancy Farm remains a critical venue where candidates can lose ground despite not typically winning outright.
