Kentucky's Republican primary to succeed retiring Sen. Mitch McConnell heated up significantly Tuesday, as Rep. Andy Barr's long-anticipated entrance into the race sharpened rivalries, reignited tensions over President Donald Trump's influence, and set the stage for a bitter fight between Barr, former Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron, and businessman Nate Morris.
