From the Daily Caller: Nate Morris, who is flirting with a Republican run for former Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s Senate seat, has ties to former Democratic operatives and financially backed Nikki Haley after the 2020 presidential election.
Morris is fashioning himself as a Trump loyalist ahead of a possible Senate run, warning Kentuckians on X against electing “another Mitch McConnell puppet who will betray President Trump” and blasting McConnell for voting against some of the president’s cabinet nominees.
In a video Morris tweeted out Thursday after McConnell announced he would not be seeking reelection, Morris accused McConnell of “sabotage” against Trump and his agenda. He called for sending someone to Washington who is “going to fight with President Trump.”
The most important question in the Kentucky Senate race: Are we going to elect another Mitch McConnell puppet who will betray President Trump? Or are we going to elect an America First outsider who will break McConnell’s control of this seat?

Morris also addressed the rumors that he might run for McConnell’s seat back on February 11, and said he’s strongly considering it.
If you’re asking for a permission slip to run for office here in Kentucky from Mitch McConnell, then you shouldn’t be running in the first place. The last thing Kentucky needs is another puppet for Mitch McConnell running for office. pic.twitter.com/Vu513Tlrcd

Morris spoke about potentially running for McConnell’s seat during CPAC last week.

Donald Trump Jr. praised Morris for speaking out so emphatically against McConnell earlier this month.
If you’re running for office, especially in Kentucky, and you want my support, don’t even bother reaching out to me unless you’re willing to publicly oppose Mitch McConnell like this. https://t.co/ZmjxODTXjU

However, the Daily Caller points out that Morris first supported and donated to former Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley in the 2024 GOP primary, and did not throw his weight behind Trump until two months after Haley withdrew from the race. He did donate $50,000 to the Trump 47 Committee in May 2024.
Until recently, Morris was reportedly a member of the Trilateral Commission, an international non-governmental organization (NGO) founded by David Rockefeller in 1973. Sometime in January, Morris’s profile was scrubbed from the globalist group’s website, but an archived version of the website shows his profile was available as recently as January 1.
Morris has strong ties to David Plouffe, who was the campaign manager to Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign, and an adviser on former Vice President Kamala Harris’s 2024 presidential campaign. Plouffe is also author of a book called “A Citizens Guide to Beating Donald Trump.”
Morris founded Rubicon, a software-based waste and recycling company, in 2008. In 2015, he hired Plouffe to serve on the board at Rubicon. While still on the Rubicon board, Plouffe posted a now-deleted statement on Twitter that reads, “It is not enough to beat Trump. He must be destroyed thoroughly. His kind must not rise again.”

Friends, I feel it is my duty to bring to your attention that @NateMorris was named one of the WEFs Young Global Leaders in 2014. This would be very difficult to come back from. I’d like to hear a statement from him on it.
