KY-SEN: McConnell's 2014 challenger endorses Charles Booker

[RandySF]

Alison Lundergan Grimes, the former Kentucky secretary of State who unsuccessfully challenged Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) for his seat in 2014, endorsed state Rep. Charles Booker’s bid for the Democratic Senate nomination on Tuesday.

“Proud to endorse my friend @Booker4KY for U.S. Senate in the Kentucky Democratic Primary!” Grimes tweeted. “Together, let’s elect a new generation of leadership in KY!”

Booker, a first-term state representative, has racked up several high-profile endorsements in recent weeks in his bid to take on McConnell in November, including from Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), two of the most prominent progressives in Congress.

1. Ms. Grimes Would Not Even Say She Voted For President Obama, Sir

Not a sterling sort of progressive....

But Amy McGrath is apparently the only one who is out-polling and out-fundraising McConnell:
