Potential McConnell Replacement Hired Obama Advisor, Donated To Nikki Haley Before Jumping On Trump Bandwagon
Nate Morris, who is flirting with a Republican run for former Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s Senate seat, has ties to former Democratic operatives and financially backed Nikki Haley after the 2020 presidential election.
Morris is fashioning himself as a Trump loyalist ahead of a possible Senate run, warning Kentuckians on X against electing “another Mitch McConnell puppet who will betray President Trump” and blasting McConnell for voting against some of the president’s cabinet nominees.
In a video Morris tweeted out Thursday after McConnell announced he would not be seeking reelection, Morris accused McConnell of “sabotage” against Trump and his agenda. He called for sending someone to Washington who is “going to fight with President Trump.”
