US EditionThese Candidates All Interned for Mitch McConnell. Now They’re Attacking Each Other for Associating with Him | News Channel 3-12
Vivek Ramaswamy backs Nate Morris, an anti-establishment candidate challenging Mitch McConnell's legacy, with support from key MAGA figures and endorsements from Ohio and Indiana senators.
- This month, Vivek Ramaswamy, tech entrepreneur and Ohio gubernatorial candidate, endorsed businessman Nate Morris in the GOP race to replace Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell, praising Morris as "the exact kind of candidate the MAGA movement needs in the Senate," Ramaswamy told The Daily Wire.
- After announcing his bid earlier this year on Donald Trump Jr.'s podcast, Morris has attacked rivals as `McConnell's boys` and said McConnell has `hung around way too long`.

- As the primary heats up, candidates are distancing themselves from Mitch McConnell, who CNN's David Wright says `has become a pariah among the Republicans trying to succeed him.`
- McConnell's 18-year leadership and role in reshaping the courts mean he shaped the GOP and judiciary, but his clashes with Trump and Jan. 6 rebukes weakened his standing ahead of next year’s primary.
