Sen. Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) is still in the early stages of courting unsuccessful 2018 congressional candidate Amy McGrath to run against Sen. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) in 2020.
Meanwhile, the McConnell election machine has already roared to life, collecting opposition research on the possible candidate and formulating an attack strategy, according to a Tuesday Politico report.
McGrath, a fighter pilot who mounted an insurgency bid in 2018 after a viral campaign ad helped her circumvent the Democratic establishment’s indifference, has not yet made up her mind on the race. She lost narrowly to Rep. Andy Barr (R-KY).
Schumer’s aggression in finding a candidate to take on McConnell also reveals the animosity between the two Senate leaders, which has reportedly grown worse due to the shutdown and divisive judicial nominations.
I am ready to donate to any serious challenger to McTurtle on day one. BRING IT
X1000
I hate that fucker with the intensity of 1000 suns
He has done more to destroy democracy than anyone else in the history of the United States
He will be remembered for enabling Trump
Traitor
Mitch McConnell is the single biggest reason Trump and the Russians are still getting away with it.
Mitch McConnell is the single biggest reason we have 3 Supreme Court justices who have sexually harassed women and have a history of being racist:
There is no question Mitch McConnell is the biggest reason, after Trump, that our deficit is going sky high while we spend on things that do nothing for Americans or our way of life. McConnell will be harshly remembered in the history books.
McConnell…saved by government spending on healthcare as boy when he had polio…now he stops the government from providing those same kinds of services to today’s needy and suffering Americans.
McConnell is not a Christian…and neither is his wife.
McConnell’s wife Elaine Chao works for TRUMP…and they both bow to Trump for one reason: Trump could remove the Chao’s monopoly hold on the shipping lanes between the US and Taiwan. The Chao’s are the richest family in Taiwan…their money comes from monopoly control over the import and export shipments between the US and China. This costs American consumers and tax payers money and it costs the US jobs.
If the right candidate appears, there is a shit ton of money from outside KY to pour into this race just ready to roll. Lot’s of talk about Amy at this time and she has as good a chance as any. At the moment though, KY is focused on getting rid of Bevin in November. KY will be ground zero and all the eyes of the nation will be on this race when the time comes.
Great idea! She is wonderful. And I wouldn’t give a fig about McYertle’s “attack strategy.” The woman was a Marine combat pilot. I expect she knows all about attacks.
