The man likely to replace Senator Mitch McConnell in Kentucky is now trashing his former mentor’s record.
Daniel Cameron, who was formerly mentored by McConnell and served as Kentucky’s attorney general from 2020 to 2024, has called McConnell’s efforts to sabotage Donald Trump’s cabinet nominees as “flat out wrong.”
In a video posted to the X platform, Cameron said that
He told viewers:
I’m going to be the kind of Senator that stands up for your constitutional rights and supports Donald Trump’s America First agenda.
Now what we saw from Mitch McConnell in voting against Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard and RFK was just flat out wrong.
You should expect a Senator from Kentucky to vote for those nominees and advance the America First agenda.
If I was in the Senate, I would have voted for those nominees because I recognize it reflects your values and supports that agenda.
Now, I’m not just saying these things, you know my track record. As attorney general, I was fighting for your constiutional rights,I was the first attorney general in the nation to stand up and oppose ESG and I have been a vocal opponent of DEI.
I was the first elected officeholder here in Kentucky to endorse Donald Trump for re-election. Because I believe in him and I believe in the America First agenda.
And when it comes to Ukraine funding, enough is enough. Let’s quit sending money overseas and let’s take care of our people here in Kentucky and across this great nation.

Having served as the Republican leader in the Senate for 18 years, McConnell was finally forced to step down this election cycle.
Despite endorsing Trump in all three of his presidential runs, McConnell is notorious for his blatant acts of sabotage against the president, including his recent attempts to block his cabinet nominees.
Earlier this month, McConnell said he was still “very upset” with Trump because of the January 6th protests.
“We haven’t spoken for quite a while,” he said in a recent interview with CBS’s 60 Minutes. “I was very upset about what happened January 6.”
