Andy Barr wins Kentucky Republican Senate primary to succeed Mitch McConnell

Rep. Andy Barr won the GOP nomination for Kentucky's U.S. Senate seat on Tuesday with Trump's endorsement, defeating former state Attorney General Daniel Cameron. Barr, a seven-term House member from Kentucky's Sixth District, is heavily favored to win the general election in the Republican-leaning state. The victory is viewed as a significant endorsement win for Trump and a shift in Kentucky Republican politics away from McConnell's long-standing influence.
