“Rep. Andy Barr [R-KY] is officially entering the race to replace longtime retiring Sen. Mitch McConnell [R-KY]. Barr, who has served in the House for over a decade, is expected to kick off his campaign in Richmond, Kentucky this evening. He’s also releasing a video to launch the campaign that paints him as a staunch ally of President Donald Trump and a fierce opponent of ‘woke’ trends on diversity, transgender inclusion, and U.S. energy dominance. ‘The United States is the greatest country on Earth, and it’s not even close,’ he said in the video. ‘But here’s the problem. The woke left wants to neuter America – literally. They hate our values. They hate our history. And goodness knows they hate President Trump. But here in Kentucky, that’s why we love him.” (04/22/25)
