Too bad McGrath wasn’t defeated in the primary ...
Booker would have lost too. The only candidates with a chance (Adkins, maybe Jones, maybe even Steve Beshear) didn’t run.
As a Kentuckian, I am begging Democrats nationwide and the national party to triage my state and give every dollar that you would have given to McGrath to Harrison instead. He actually is a good candidate who actually has a chance. And as much as I would love to oust McConnell, it’s not happening. All chance of that was lost when Schumer and the DSCC went all-in on McGrath for some baffling reason. And ousting Graham is the next best thing. Plus, take back the Senate and you at least strip McConnell of his power as Majority Leader.
Steve Beshear? As in the same Steve Beshear who lost by 13% to McConnell in 1996? He would have had zero chance.
