AlterNet has a great piece out that analyzes how competitive the U.S. Senate race between U.S. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R. KY) and Lt. Colonel Amy McGrath (D. KY):
In Kentucky, Democratic senatorial candidate Amy McGrath has been waging an aggressive campaign against Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who is seeking reelection. McGrath knows she is fighting an uphill battle: Kentucky is a red state where President Donald Trump defeated Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton by 30% in 2016. But that doesn’t mean that McConnell isn’t taking McGrath’s campaign seriously: The Hill’s Tad Axelrod is reporting that this week, McConnell is responding to her attack ads with an attack ad of his own. McConnell’s campaign didn’t specify how much was spent on the ad but told The Hill that it was a “substantial statewide buy.”
Give the whole piece a read and they cover these four points indepth:
1. McConnell’s ad defends his record on coronavirus and health care
2. McConnell is being slammed in Kentucky newspapers for his ‘loyalty to Trump’
