Kentucky US Senate primary: Amy McGrath squeaks out win over Charles Booker

USA TODAY logoKentucky US Senate primary: Amy McGrath squeaks out win over Charles Booker
LOUISVILLE – Former fighter pilot Amy McGrath has won the Democratic primary for U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell's Senate seat, the Associated Press announced early Tuesday afternoon, in a slim victory over state Rep. Charles Booker.
The election was held on June 23, but there was a delay in announcing the full results because hundreds of thousands of Kentuckians mailed in their ballots, thanks to procedural changes enacted due to the coronavirus pandemic.
McGrath emerged early as the front-runner in the race to win the Democratic Party's nomination and run against McConnell this fall.
She had a huge advantage over Booker in terms of finances, having attracted over $41 million in campaign contributions as of early June. (That's more money than McConnell, himself a renowned fundraiser, had drummed up for his reelection bid by that point.)
