GOP Fight to Replace McConnell Turns Ugly Over Immigration

The race to replace retiring former Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has turned ugly over immigration.

Why it matters: The seat is safely Republican, but the primary is shaping up to be one of the cycle’s most bruising intra-party battles.

• Rep. Andy Barr (R-Ky.), former Attorney General Daniel Cameron and businessman Nate Morris are leading contenders.
• Though none has secured President Trump’s endorsement.

Driving the news: A Club for Growth-aligned super PAC, Win It Back, launched a new TV ad titled “Amnesty Andy” targeting Barr over immigration.
