Democratic Kentucky Senate candidate Amy McGrath has lost the support of Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, a major blow to a campaign that already stood little chance of unseating Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.

In July 2019, back when McGrath’s campaign first launched, journalists wishfully predicted that this would be a “blockbuster” election. McGrath, who trails McConnell by double digits, was supposed to be the real deal. Reporters and commentators alike drooled over her “incredible rollout” video. As it turns out, the same political reporters and commentators who assured us that McGrath had a real chance of defeating McConnell were wrong.
