As the Kentucky Senate race heats up, donors and Republican operatives have been getting pitched on an unusual idea: a super PAC run by allies of two GOP competitors to take down another rival in the race.
Theoretically, the PAC’s purpose would be to oppose Kentucky businessman Nate Morris, which would benefit Rep. Andy Barr and former state Attorney General Daniel Cameron. (All three men are running for Senate.)
According to seven sources familiar with the matter, Barr and Cameron’s allies have discussed starting a super PAC to attack Morris. Donors, Senate GOP aides and operatives have all been pitched on the super PAC.
