[Andy Barr @barrforsenate]

God bless @DanielCameronKY. Daniel ran a great race and made me a better candidate. Daniel is a man of faith, family, and he will always be my friend.

Davis and I want to thank both Daniel and Makenze Cameron for their years of service to the Commonwealth we all love.

Primary win in Kentucky! Ready to send @barrforsenate to the Senate 🇺🇸

[Rick VanMeter @RVMky]

This brings to mind the Massie ad in the 2012 primary that falsely implied he had been endorsed by Rep. Geoff Davis. Same dirty tricks, different day, hopefully different result!

[Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump]

Horrible Congressman Thomas Massie put out an old Endorsement, from many years ago, of him by me long before I found out that he was the Worst Congressman in the History of our Country. I endorsed Ed Gallrein, a true American Patriot, which Massie knows full well, so the statement that he put out is fraudulent, just like HE is fraudulent. WITHDRAW YOUR FAKE STATEMENT, MASSIE, RIGHT NOW! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Andy @BarrForSenate is someone I’ve known and respected since 2012. I interned on his campaign and then served on his staff in the Lexington District Office from 2013 to 2015. So when Andy announced for U.S. Senate, it was an easy decision to pledge my support to him.

Andy is one of the hardest-working, most effective leaders I’ve met in politics. He’s been a consistent champion for the values of Kentucky and the Republican Party in Congress and is ready to hit the ground running on Day One for all 120 counties. He’s a true workhorse — focused on delivering real results for constituents and partnering with local and state leaders to bring federal resources home, all while being an effective legislator.

Kentucky needs Andy Barr in the Senate. I’m proud to endorse him and ask you to considering joining me in voting for Andy on Tuesday. #TeamBarr

Pro-Barr Keep America Great PAC is circulating a memo today that says Andy Barr now has a “commanding lead” in the GOP Senate primary after landing Trump’s endorsement. Barr has 43% support, 18% undecided, 4% +/- margin of error.

Again, source is pro-Barr, but here’s a look:

Together, we will deliver for Bowling Green, Owensboro, Elizabethtown, and everywhere in the Second Congressional District. Great to have Chairman Guthrie on Team Barr!

[Tom Cotton @TomCottonAR]

Andy Barr is a strong conservative—tough on illegal immigration, tough on crime, and a leader against the radical left’s agenda.

President Trump made a great decision endorsing him, & he has my full support too.

Chip in to help a strong conservative win

President Trump made the right call endorsing @barrforsenate. Andy has been a loyal and effective advocate for the MAGA agenda and Kentucky. The Barr campaign leads in fundraising, endorsements, and in the polls. They simply outwork everyone. He will be an outstanding Senator!
