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.

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.

The growth of Addiction Recovery Care, Kentucky’s largest drug rehab center, was fueled in part by billing practices that federal prosecutors and former employees now allege amounted to fraud.
