Republican businessman Nate Morris says Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell is undeserving of a lifetime achievement award from their home state political party. It's the latest attack by Morris against the longtime Senate powerbroker he hopes to succeed in next year’s election. Morris, a tech entrepreneur, has turned McConnell into his own punching bag. The strategy is seen as an attempt to reinforce Morris' outsider status and win over President Donald Trump’s MAGA base. Morris launched his Senate campaign last week. He joins U.S. Rep. Andy Barr and ex-state Attorney General Daniel Cameron as GOP heavyweights vying for their party’s nomination next spring.
