Nate Morris isn’t just taking out trash—he’s coming for Mitch McConnell’s legacy.
"This is not a Hallmark campaign. This is total war against the establishment,”- Steve Bannon, June 28, 2025 on Nate Morris viral campaign annoncement.
Appearing on Saturday’s WarRoom with Steve Bannon, Morris—a self-made millionaire and ninth-generation Kentuckian—announced his candidacy for the U.S. Senate as an America First Republican, targeting what is widely known as "Mitch McConnell’s seat.”
In his scorched-earth ad and subsequent interview, Morris made one thing brutally clear: “We’re gonna run over [McConnell’s legacy] again and again with that garbage truck and take out the trash.”
Born to a single mother on food stamps and raised in a union household, Morris built a $2 billion waste management company from a $10,000 credit card loan. That “garbage man” background is more than a metaphor—it’s his campaign brand. "I know a little something about garbage,” Morris quipped in his campaign ad. "And Mitch McConnell? He’s trash.”
His ad, which aired nationally, lit up WarRoom’s "force multiplier” audience. "Most powerful ad I’ve ever seen,” Bannon said. "You’re not doing the Hallmark thing [announcing your candidacy]—this ad is war.”
And war it is.
Morris told Bannon that the Kentucky GOP sent him a letter instructing him not to speak ill of anyone "not in the race,” a clear reference to McConnell. Morris rejected the muzzle: "The whole reason I’m in this race is because of Mitch McConnell. And I’m going to tell the truth about his record.”
In a sharply worded rebuke of establishment politics, Morris accused McConnell of selling out President Trump and the American working class: "He’s been obsessed with two things his entire career—money and power—and he’s forgotten the people.”
Morris didn’t hold back when naming names, calling out rivals Andy Barr and Daniel Cameron as McConnell’s "puppets.”
"Andy Barr is a balding RINO who’s been suckling the government teat for years. He’s never had a real job. He said McConnell is his mentor—at 50 years old. That tells you everything.”
"Daniel Cameron? He’s not even from Kentucky! He’s Mitch’s general counsel—he signed off on everything.”
Morris credits J.D. Vance with encouraging him to run and described his campaign as a "street fight.” Drawing on his union roots and blue-collar grit, he declared, "I don’t need this job. That’s what terrifies them. I’ve already lived the American dream. Now I’m here to fight for the people who made me who I am.”
He also blasted the political class for backing Ukraine and foreign wars while ignoring the border. "We don’t have a country if we don’t have a border,” he said. "McConnell and his cronies were willing to destroy U.S. sovereignty for their globalist agenda.”
As the Republican primary heats up, Morris says the real vote is about whether Kentucky will free itself from McConnell’s influence. "They want 40 more years of Mitch through one of his puppets. We’re not gonna let that happen.”
