Makenze and I want to thank all of those who worked tirelessly to support our campaign. Although it did not end the way we wanted, we’ve been blessed throughout the journey. We will never forget the kindness of people all across this Commonwealth who gave of time, talent, and treasure to aid in our effort. And, again, I congratulate my good friend, Andy Barr, on becoming the Republican nominee for the U.S. Senate. He carries the torch for the party into the fall, and I look forward to casting my vote for him in November. He is a good man, with a good heart, and I know he will represent us well in the U.S. Senate. May God bless him, his family, and his team in the campaign to come. As for the Camerons, we look forward to more days filled with laughter, more nights at home together, and time enjoying life’s special moments. We will rest in the Lord. He has good plans.

From colleague Jessica Sonkin. Massie says he called Gallerin to concede. But says it “took a while to find Ed Gallrein in Tel Aviv”

Horrible Congressman Thomas Massie put out an old Endorsement, from many years ago, of him by me long before I found out that he was the Worst Congressman in the History of our Country. I endorsed Ed Gallrein, a true American Patriot, which Massie knows full well, so the statement that he put out is fraudulent, just like HE is fraudulent. WITHDRAW YOUR FAKE STATEMENT, MASSIE, RIGHT NOW! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Our Kentucky team is growing, with endorsements today from Rep. Mike Clines, Rep. Scott Sharp, and Harrodsburg Mayor Bob Williams. Honored to have President Trump’s endorsement and more than 170 other major endorsements in this race. We will never let Kentucky down!

Proven Political Winner Andy Barr is running for the United States Senate in the Great Commonwealth of Kentucky, a place I love and WON BIG, six times, including Primaries, in 2016, 2020, and 2024! I know Andy well, and he is always a Vote we can count on because he knows what it takes to GET THINGS DONE and, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! I Endorsed Andy years ago, in his first Race, and all others, for Congress, and he never let me down — He is a 100% solid American Patriot! Andy Barr is a Strong Supporter of TERMINATING THE FILIBUSTER, before the Democrats do it (which they will, on Day One, if they get control of the U.S. Senate!). He will do everything in his power to get it done. It is desperately needed by the Republican Party to pass the SAVE AMERICA ACT, and all other things necessary for a strong and brilliant Country! In the Senate, Andy will fight tirelessly to Grow our Economy, Cut Taxes and Regulations, Champion the Interests of our Amazing Farmers and Ranchers, Promote MADE IN THE U.S.A., Unleash American Energy DOMINANCE, Keep our Border SECURE, Stop Migrant Crime, Strengthen our Military/Veterans, Safeguard our Elections, and Defend our always under siege Second Amendment. Andy is the only Candidate who will easily defeat the Democrat in what will be one of the most important Elections in American History. He will help ensure Victory against these Radical Left, Country Destroying, THUGS. Andy Barr has my Complete and Total Endorsement to be the next United States Senator from Kentucky – HE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!
