Starting a big KY election results thread here:

[Bluegrass Politics @BGPolitics]

@FOCthis @_AustinHorn So much to unpack here and so little time. I’d suggest reading the entire article and exploring the many, many, many links in it. ^TD

[Bluegrass Politics @BGPolitics]

@FOCthis @_AustinHorn These stories were published by the same organization — the Herald-Leader — and Austin is one of the two reporters who broke the original story about misconduct allegations nearly two years ago. I’d say his reporting chops are excellent. ^TD

New: a fmr college classmate alleges KY state Rep Daniel Grossberg assaulted her & made unwanted sexual advances in 2005 when she was a freshman and he was a 26-yr-old senior.

Hello from Churchill!

Here at the Kentucky Derby, where Rep. Andy Barr said he is “grateful and honored” for Trump’s endorsement.

Also said he would welcome an endorsement from Daniel Cameron as well, but Cameron has said he’s sticking in the race.

[Austin Horn @_AustinHorn]

Cameron's consultant responds.

“Congrats to Mitch McConnell for getting his guy.”

Double dump:

Nate Morris will bow out of the race and endorse Andy Barr for US Senate. Morris and Barr had gone hard after each other throughout the race.

[Austin Horn @_AustinHorn]

A Friday news dump of epic proportions:

President Trump endorses Rep. Andy Barr in Kentucky's US Senate primary.

[Austin Horn @_AustinHorn]

New: "On the same day, at the same time, 3 of America's biggest conservative influencers on X all had the same thing to say about KY U.S. Senate candidate Nate Morris."

I went long on that campaign, many others across the US & one of MAGA’s biggest stars.
