Former Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron on His Run for GOP US Senate Seat – (VIDEO)

Former Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron talked about his run for the US Senate on “Fox News Sunday” with host Shannon Bream. He is running to secure the seat that is held by retiring Senator Mitch McConnell.

“On May 19th, Kentucky voters will choose their top Republican contender to replace retiring Senator Mitch McConnell,” Bream said.

“Joining me now is another candidate vying for the soon-to-be-vacated Senate seat, former Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron,” Bream said.

“Let’s work through some of the criticism of your particular race, your position,” Bream said of critics running against Cameron.

“These are all tactics that have been tried in the past,” Cameron said.

“They are laughable. I’ve got over 100 law enforcement officials that have endorsed this campaign,” Cameron said.

“I spent my time as Attorney General suing the Biden administration because of the porous southern border and weak policies from the Biden administration. So, everyone that I know discounts these ads as obviously something that is desperate from another camp in this race,” Cameron continued.

“As I travel our 120 counties, people are very focused upon a candidate that is focused on them, and not the mudslinging,” Cameron explained.

“The President has not endorsed in this GOP primary. How much of a difference would it make, and why do you think he hasn’t so far?” Bream asked.

“I’ve been grateful for President Trump’s support in my last two races and of course I spent 2024 as a surrogate for President Trump,” Cameron continued.

“What I know about President Trump is he wants to see a candidate earn it, and work hard to get across our 120 counties,” Cameron said.

Bream asked Cameron about a piece written about him in the Courier-Journal that was critical of his Republican candidacy.

“I’m assuming you’ve read it. What was your response?” Bream asked.

“Well, Shannon, this is not the first time I’ve been attacked because I’m a black Republican. I said at the 2020 RNC Convention that I am my own man, and I speak with a voice that is forceful and speaks about conservative ideology, and I’m gonna continue to do that regardless of what people may say about me,” Cameron said.

“I tell people all the time that we don’t need a country that is built on diversity, equity and inclusion. We need a country that is built on merit, excellence, intelligence and integrity,” Cameron explained.
