Lexington, KY—Tonight, Andy Barr, Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in Kentucky, released the following statement:
“I am proud to have served as President Trump’s Chairman in Kentucky during the 2024 primary and I am fighting alongside him right now to get our America First agenda passed. When I’m in the Senate, I’ll be President Trump’s biggest ally. Others in this race have opposed the President in the past and give lip service to supporting him now.
