McConnell Wins Reelection to Senate, Thanks Wife Elaine Chao in Louisville

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky was re-elected for a seventh-term, the Associated Press projected, beating Democrat Amy McGrath.

McConnell defeated McGrath, a former Marine fighter pilot, in a race he was expected to win even though he didn’t keep pace with McGrath’s fundraising.

Democrats need a net gain of three seats to take control of the Senate if Joe Biden wins the presidency, or four if President Donald Trump is re-elected.

Remember that Louisville was the county that closed its voting place early during it’s democratic primary, a primary that came shorty after the tragic murder of Breonna Taylor. Like most parts of the US, Kentucky suppresses minority voters, and that’s why Mitch won.
