KY-SEN: Amy McGrath in

[KaiserDave]

Rocky's a good soul to take a job in the admin, but this both gives up his seat and loses our best hope for Senate.

Whelp, Safe R

It was always Safe R. A McConnell demolition of McGrath is all but assured at this point, as neither Adkins nor Gray will be running for the seat.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Dems are consolidating where they can win at and KY falls by the wasteside like AK, MT and SC


ME, IA, GA, AZ, CO, KS, TX and NC is the Senate majority, even if they dont win every race

Oh yes I agree. Rocky I'd say makes it Likely, but McGrath was always going to be crushed.

We have such a good slate of candidates in Kentucky for senate including State Rep Charles Booker. Shame that none of them can win. I still am supporting McGrath, but Rep Booker is a good man and I am proud to call him a fellow democrat.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

McGrath can win, McConnell is one of the 10Rs vulnerable

Endorsed.

New articles tonight on how McConnell views Trump lowly, and Amy McGrath is not appealing to the progressive base in KY.

Pretty damning article of McConnell

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

The problem for these wave insurance seats isnt because of poor funding, but it's about $$$, in a sense on online funding, candidates have to rely on their own funding to fund their campaign,  she has a 33% chance of winning

[SnowLabrador]

Amy McGrath is running a horrible campaign. It's one thing to not be a perfect progressive, that's probably necessary if you are to have any hope of winning in Kentucky. It's quite another to only talk about opposing progressive priorities.

It's not like we had a chance of beating McConnell anyway, but this is just embarrassing.

It's a perfectly example of why (despite what some election twitter dorks and sh**tty CNN analysts tell you) that just because you're a moderate in a red seat doesn't mean you're going to do better. I've been incredibly impressed with how Booker has run his campaign and the number of endorsements he's been able to get while going up against a DCCC darling.

There's been two debates over the past few days but I think you need a VPN set to Kentucky in order to view them.

Starting to see a lot of activity regarding Mike Broihier.

Will be interesting to see how this primary plays out.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Dems dont need to waste money in any more states like AK, KY and SC, defend KS, MT, ME, IA and NC.

May be the first time I've seen a Teen Vogue article link here, eagerly await Tiger Beats take on the race.

Yeah, McConnell is trash and McGrath is underwhelming

I'd have thought it was a fairly easy McGrath victory thanks to Broihier and Booker likely sharing more floating voters with each other than either does with McGrath.

I'm getting so tired of Ojeda getting in the way of everything. If Booker loses by a slim margin, He and Williamson have to answer for that.

Yes I'm aware that their endorsements probably don't move the needle much but imo you have a responsibility as a political public figure to be intelligent with your endorsing decisions.

McGrath has been favored in the primary from the beginning and a little known former state Senator from West Virginia, who was also a candidate in one of the most overhyped races of the 2018 cycle, would not change that. I'll say the primary is Likely McGrath, it doesn't really matter who wins though, since the winner of this primary is losing to McConnell by double digits in November.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Why are Ds obsessed with KY, Ds have MT and KS to win and Ds can win those. Cal Cunningham isn't all that great of a candidate,  he has been tied or behind Tillis, so it's not sold that he will win.

Dems must target Daines and KS and GA to have a shot at majority in case Cunningham loses, KY is gone

For once you make perfect sense.

United front with Broihier, or a Sanders/Warren endorsement?

[Babeuf]

Beshear maybe? He's gotten a lot of state level Dem endorsements.

[ηєω ƒяσηтιєя]

I don't like Amy McGrath. Charles Booker is a much better candidate.

Mitch McConnell will still unfortunately win though.

[TiltsAreUnderrated]

It seems it was either that they'd raised over $1m, or this:
