KY-SEN: Amy McGrath in

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Sigh, KY isnt in play

[Pollster]

Booker on the offensive.

Unlikely to happen, but it would honestly be hilarious to see McGrath break ActBlue records just to lose to Booker in the home stretch.

The nomination is safe McGrath as long as both Booker and Broihier remain in the race.

He claims later in the thread that the rumour relates to (presumably private) polling numbers. He has also said Booker is "in mid-30s where rumors have him now." Do KY Democrats here think McGrath is a lock for the nomination?

[Corbyn is (no longer) the leader of the Labour Party]

Would Booker preform better than McGrath?

Would Booker preform better than McGrath?

Probably not, but that would come at the expense of donations better sent elsewhere and he might do more to build party infrastructure/name ID for a future run at a less hopeless race.

McGrath is awful.

[Suburbia]

Safe R, regardless of who wins.

Rocky Adkins should have ran.

McGrath will lose by 17 points.

[Landslide Lyndon]

If McGrath loses the primary, can she then donate her leftover money to other candidates and Democratic entities (like the DSCC)?

[Ye We Can]

inb4 McConnell only wins by like 7 or something

[Continential]

inb4 McConnell only wins by like 7 or something

Should that happen, hopefully we flip KY06

Would Booker preform better than McGrath?

LOL he would do worse than even Hillary

Why? I think Hillary was the floor for Dems in Kentucky.

[wbrocks67]

The McGrath hatred in here is a bit ridiculous. Would be hilarious if she not only wins the primary bigly, but puts up a good fight against McConnell

She could/should give it to the Kentucky Democratic Party and the state parties in TX, NC, & GA.

I like Charles a bit, but McConnell would destroy him on supporting GND.

I like Charles a bit, but McConnell would destroy him on supporting GND.

He'll also destroy McGrath on supporting the GND, because even if she says she doesn't, she'll have close to zero credibility with too many voters. Booker could at least conceivably have a political future in KY and could benefit from a well-run campaign.

[Suburbia]

Still Safe R.

KY Democrats should look to 2026.

Fair, but I doubt Booker does any better than she would do.

[RogueBeaver]

Lexington Herald-Leader endorses Booker.

[Not Me, Us]

The momentum certainly seems to be in Booker's favor.

[Rookie Yinzer]

Me and Bernie agree

[Calthrina950]

While no one is going to beat Mitch McConnell, I think it is better for Democrats to go with a candidate who genuinely believes in what they says and will wage a good campaign, then for someone who is a demonstrated flip-flopper and has poor campaign skills.
