Nate Morris campaign spends big early with seven-figure ad launch in Senate race
Nate Morris is already spending big bucks on his 2026 U.S. Senate campaign — with 10 months to go until the primary election. The Kentucky businessman is launching a seven-figure ad buy that will run in every market statewide, including television, digital and direct mail advertising, according to Morris' spokesperson. The ad, titled "Garbage Day," is critical of outgoing Republican U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell, as well as fellow Republican candidates U.S. Rep. Andy Barr and former Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron. "Mitch McConnell? He's trashed Trump," Morris says in the ad. "McConnell's boys Andy Barr and Daniel Cameron will do the same if they replace him." Representatives for Barr and Cameron's campaign did not immediately respond to a Courier Journal request for comment about the ad. Barr's campaign confirmed he has not launched any television ads. The latest fundraising reports filed with the Federal Election Commission show Cameron raised more than $500,000 for his Senate bid over an about four-week period following his announcement. However, that paled in comparison to the funds Barr had on hand — with reports showing he had more than $5.3 million available as of March 31. The next fundraising reports are due to the FEC on July 15. Morris announced his run for the Senate seat in June on Donald Trump Jr.'s podcast show, "Triggered with Don Jr." He already has support from some nationally known conservatives, including popular media host Charlie Kirk. Kirk and Morris kicked off the campaign at a rally in Shepherdsville on June 30, where Morris branded himself as an outsider and grassroots candidate ready to help advance President Donald Trump's agenda. While Morris has never served in public office, he has previously worked with Republican U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, with POLITICO calling Morris "a door-opener for Paul with big-money GOP donors." The primary election is set to take place on May 19, 2026. This story could be updated.

Proposal to build data center in Oldham County scrapped. What we know
The company that proposed building a multi-billion dollar data center in Oldham County has notified county officials that it will no longer pursue the project, Oldham County Judge-Executive David Voegele told The Courier Journal. Voegele said officials from Western Hospitality Partners will scrap the project entirely. WHP originally announced plans to build a $6 billion facility on a 267-acre plot on Highway 53 in March. The company later changed its course, announcing new plans to build a smaller $1.5 billion data center on nearly 88 acres on D.W. Griffith Lane just outside the incorporated city limits of La Grange, The Courier Journal reported in June. Now, the project will not move forward in either form, Voegele said. In a statement, WHP officials said the proposed project "would have been Kentucky's largest economic development project." "From the outset, the company aimed to work closely with local stakeholders, hosting several open house meetings to introduce the team and explain the benefits of the proposed data center, including new tax revenue for local communities, schools, police, and other services. However, in keeping with WHP's commitment to the community, the project will be withdrawn and will not proceed," the statement continued. This is a developing story and will be updated.
