Republican candidates seeking the U.S. Senate met for their first debate last week. Andy Barr, Daniel Cameron, and Nate Morris are the top three candidates who are seeking the U.S. Senate seat held by Sen. Mitch McConnell for over 40 years. The candidates discussed issues ranging from federal spending, border security, immigration, and economic policy. The debate offered voters a glimpse at competing visions within the party. Interestingly, all three candidates were Sen. McConnell’s interns. But now they are aligned with Pres. Donald Trump and vying for his coveted endorsement. McConnell has been mostly quiet in the race. Barr and Morris have raised millions so far. While former Attorney General Daniel Cameron has been overshadowed in fundraising, he’s leading in most polls.
