Colombia ambassador nominee Nate Morris shows no regret for McConnell criticism

yahoo.com

Nate Morris, President Trump’s nominee for US ambassador to Colombia, showed no regret at his Senate hearing for attacks on Senator Mitch McConnell during Kentucky’s Republican primary. Utah GOP Senator John Curtis pressed Morris, saying campaigning differs from diplomacy and asking whether he regretted the heated race. Morris praised his campaign and said it showed his character, leading Curtis to interject "No regrets" and "you're still acting like a candidate." Morris launched his Senate bid in 2025 with an ad discarding a cardboard cutout of McConnell, then exited after Trump offered the Colombia post. The committee took no vote; the full Senate would decide confirmation.
