Kentucky GOP Senate primary candidate Daniel Cameron continues his campaign despite Donald Trump's endorsement of U.S. Rep. Andy Barr. Cameron released a 30-second ad branding himself as a 'Trump Conservative' ahead of the primary. Trump's endorsement came as a surprise on May 1, during Kentucky Derby weekend, and was followed by Lexington businessman Nate Morris dropping out of the race and backing Barr. Cameron stated that his platform speaks to Republican voters regardless of their support for Trump. Barr has gained additional endorsements from influential figures, including billionaire Kentucky coal executive Joe Craft and U.S. Senate Majority Leader John Thune. The primary is set to take place on May 19.
