Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer predicted Tuesday that Amy McGrath will win the Democratic primary in Kentucky to take on Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.
“Amy McGrath is our candidate, she’s a strong candidate,” the New York Democrat told reporters. “She’s doing very well, and I believe that she’ll win her primary and I believe that she’ll give McConnell a run for his money.”
McGrath, a former fighter pilot who is backed by the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, faces a serious challenge from Charles Booker, a state representative who has seen an uptick in support and endorsements, most recently from former Kentucky Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes. Grimes unsuccessfully challenged McConnell in 2014.
