Trump’s Bid To Replace McConnell With Ally Runs Into Snag

Former President Donald Trump is seeking a loyal ally to replace retiring Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell, but concerns have emerged over Rep. Andy Barr (R-Ky.), a front-runner in the race. Though Barr voted against Trump’s 2021 impeachment, he later donated through his PAC to four House Republicans who supported impeachment, drawing backlash from Trump’s inner circle. Critics see Barr as aligned with McConnell and not fully loyal to Trump.

 

Barr faces competition from former Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron and businessman Nate Morris. Trump, who won Kentucky by over 30 points, is expected to play a decisive role in the 2026 primary. Barr’s team defends his record, pointing to his consistent support for Trump and broader efforts to unify the GOP. They also attacked Morris for supporting Nikki Haley in 2021 and Cameron for losing the governor’s race despite Trump’s endorsement. With loyalty a key factor in Trump’s decisions, Barr’s past donations and ties to establishment Republicans could complicate his bid for Trump’s backing.
