Democrat Amy McGrath officially files to challenge Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell in what looms as a bruising, big-spending campaign next year in Kentucky.
Amy McGrath officially files papers to challenge Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, Friday, Dec. 27, 2019 in Frankfurt, Ky. Calling her party's victory in the Kentucky governor's race a jolt of momentum for her own bid to unseat a Republican incumbent, Democrat Amy McGrath on Friday officially filed to challenge Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell in what looms as a bruising, big-spending campaign next year.
“It absolutely gives us momentum because it shows that against an unpopular Republican incumbent, a Democrat can win,” McGrath said. “And we win by talking about those bread-and-butter issues that Kentuckians really care about. Another Democrat, Mike Broihier, also filed Friday as a U.S. Senate candidate. Broihier is a political newcomer with a broad resume as a Marine officer, farmer and small-town newspaperman.“Voters are energized,” he said in an interview, adding that the coalition that put Beshear in the governor’s office is “raring to go again” in the Senate race.
“It’s nice that he’s getting money for Kentucky, but the rest of the job is so important,” she added. “And it’s actually bigger and broader and he’s failing at all of these other things.” In another jab at McConnell, McGrath said she supports term limits. She said there’s “a real disconnect” between McConnell and “every day Kentuckians.”
