I don’t like the idea of having open House seats even in a supposedly “safe” district when the House itself is so narrow in its majority - it was not that long ago that Barr himself was barely able to win that district though it has trended further red. It is an off year election...anything is possible.
Daniel Cameron himself would be strong but for him running so recently for governor - fundraising would probably come much easier since this is a US Senate race vs. governor race that seemed quixotic against an incumbent governor with a 65%+ approval rating, but he could still be seen this soon as an “also ran.”
Nate Morris would be a fresh face, but there is the issue of the company he founded currently not doing so hot, even though he has not been the CEO of it for some time. As the article mentions he is closely associated to Vance...who is the heir apparent to lead the GOP nationally.
I’m in Kentucky but I have never even heard of Nate Morris until now.

I got a better idea. He’s very young politically speaking. Trump nominates him to SCOTUS this year replacing Clarence Thomas. Watch the left react. He’s already shown his conservative bonafides so we don’t have to worry about him doing a John Roberts on us.
I’d prefer to see Barr, but that risks his house seat going Blue. Cameron would be good, but since Mitch ham strung him for governor, he might not win...especially if Beshear runs for senator.
Regardless of Mitch’s replacement, if Beshear runs he will win easily. There’s no one in Kentucky that can beat Beshear. If Beshear runs for President, Kentucky likely will go blue.
