President Donald Trump said that he’s asked businessman Nate Morris to take a role as an ambassador instead of running for a Senate seat in Kentucky.
Instead, Trump endorsed Andy Barr to fight for the Senate seat, Trump posted to Truth Social on Friday.
“I had a great meeting with Mr. Nate Morris, of Kentucky, yesterday. Nate is a terrific businessman and strong MAGA Warrior. I will be making an Endorsement for U.S. Senate in Kentucky shortly, but I’ve asked Nate to step aside from that Race to take a role in my Administration as an Ambassador. Nate is Oxford educated, tough as nails, LOVES our Great Nation, and will represent the United States very well, overseas, or otherwise.
“He has a great future in politics, or anything else he chooses to do. We will be announcing Nate’s new role soon. Stay tuned for my important Endorsement for Senate in Kentucky. It will be a big one, and straight from the heart. Republicans must win the Senate!”
I’m incredibly proud to join President Trump in endorsing @BarrForSenate. Like President Trump said, Andy knows what it takes to get things done and deliver BIG for the America First agenda.
