One of Kentucky's largest newspapers has endorsed Democratic nominee Amy McGrath for Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's Senate seat.
The Lexington Herald-Leader's endorsement said that, after the presidential election, the Senate race is one of the most important contests for the "future health of our democracy."
"During his 36 years in office, McConnell has made it perfectly clear that his only passion is the pursuit of power, his own and that of the Republican Party," the newspaper's editorial board wrote. "For that reason alone, we would endorse his opponent."
The endorsement added, "Luckily for voters, McGrath, a former fighter pilot and public servant, would make an excellent senator who would actually put the needs and interests of Kentuckians above her own."
Trump's huge defeat is dragging down republican senators and representatives. Even old Mitch McConnel is in a close race.
The state newspaper just endorsed McConnel's opponent.
Do you think Mitch will lose?
