Amy McGrath, the former fighter pilot who’s running against Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), reportedly raised $2.5 million within the first 24 hours of her campaign launch.
The McGrath campaign said it was the most money raised for a Senate campaign in the first 24 hours, according to NBC News.
McGrath’s campaign manager, Mark Nickolas, told NBC News that more than $1 million of the haul came a mere five-and-a-half hours after she announced her campaign.
Though McConnell is currently the most unpopular senator in the country, McGrath’s campaign faces an uphill battle in the ruby-red state that voted overwhelmingly for President Donald Trump in 2016.
She’s going to need more than money to take on the devil.
We are all pulling for her though
I suspect yertle doesn’t care if anyone likes him. I think he has utter disdain for the average citizens in Kentucky. He doesn’t need grass roots donors as he has the deepest, darkest pockets in the country supporting him.
I wish her luck , but the real story is she will cause the RNC and the Senate reelection committee to divert a lot of cash they normally wouldn’t need to spend just like they did with Beto in Texas .
The silent pan of Yertles ugly mug ain’t going to cut it
Hope you haven’t had your lunch
…and outside the country, too.
It does not matter much that she raised this money. Most of the voters in Kentucky are incredibly dense, even voting against people who gave them health care.
