Background

Nate Morris is the leading Republican candidate for Kentucky's 2026 US Senate seat, which opened after Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell announced his retirement. Fellowship PAC, the pro-Trump outside group, spent $850,000 on Morris in Q1 2026, signalling early establishment and Trump-aligned backing for his campaign ahead of the primary.

Morris is a Kentucky businessman and founder of Rubicon Technology Partners, a waste and recycling technology company. He has no prior elected office but has cultivated relationships with Trump-world donors and positioned himself as a pro-Trump successor to McConnell. Kentucky is a safely Republican state in statewide races, so the primary is effectively the general election.

The Fellowship PAC investment reflects Trump's desire to shape the successor to McConnell, whom Trump has feuded with openly. A Morris victory would cement the transition of the Kentucky Senate seat from the McConnell legacy to Trump-aligned leadership in the chamber.
