Rep. Andy Barr won Kentucky’s Republican Senate primary on Tuesday, after being boosted in the testy contest by President Donald Trump’s endorsement.

Barr will be the heavy favorite to succeed Sen. Mitch McConnell in deep-red Kentucky.

The Lexington-area representative defeated former Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron, who won the gubernatorial primary in 2023 but lost to Gov. Andy Beshear. His third statewide campaign was his first without institutional backing from McConnell, who Cameron criticized throughout his campaign.
