Former Kentucky Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes (D) endorsed U.S. Senate candidate Charles Booker (D) in the Democratic primary to challenge Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R) in November, the Lexington Herald Leader reports.
“For most of the campaign, Amy McGrath (D) appeared to be gliding toward the Democratic nomination. She’s backed by the party’s national establishment and has raised prodigious amounts of campaign cash, enabling her to run TV ads since last year to build her statewide name recognition.”
“But Booker, a freshman state lawmaker from Louisville, has won a series of high-profile endorsements and started running TV ads late in the campaign.”
