The polls have closed in Kentucky.

Is there any news on Massie race yet?

If he wins, it would be great for Democrats and America, because it would indicate that the MAGA fever had broken with a lot of voters.

If he loses, it would indicate that not much has really changed, regardless of what all the polls have been saying, in my opinion.

It would be a major defeat for Trump.

1. From what I can see Massie is down by almost 15 points with 13% reporting

3. I would not say Massie winning is great for America or great for Democrats

The other guy is just slightly worse. His Epstein stuff is all performative and I guarantee he would not vote to impeach Trump no matter what Trump did in the Epstein files. Massie also ran many racist anti DEI ads. We got to stop uplifting these people thinking a guy is okay just, because he verbally says he is against pedophiles is an extremely low bar. No matter what happens in that race is a win for Democrats, because republicans spent massive amount of money on a seat that was safely theirs to begin with.

4. Melissa Strange should work hard to win over Massie voters...

it's a longshot, but worth trying.

Massie's opponent has said he wants to reinstitute the draft. Hammer him on the repeatedly.

5. Severe long shot Massie ran unopposed the last time

so having an opponent in the general for whoever wins is an improvement. I don't know how the draft issue is going to sell in the wealthiest district in Kentucky, because they'll probably just think it wont be their kids.

6. She is now

Projected winner

7. I think it isn't looking to good for Massie

down 9 points with almost 50% in. He is going to need a big rally. Also could be an upset brewing in the Democratic Senate primary with Booker pulling ahead of McGrath with only 17% of Jefferson County reporting. I think some of those other candidates are taking more votes away from McGrath then Booker. In my view she is also underperforming in Hardin County and given her military background she should be doing a lot better there. However it's a Statewide race and I'll be surprised if Booker sells well in the Western half of the State.

8. I think Massie has lost

[kentuck]

11. I think the reason Massie may have lost was because of a really efficient propaganda campaign..

...by Trump and Pete Kegsbreath? There are just some areas of this country that are susceptible to PR propaganda? They came in for just the last day or two and that is all they needed. The voters were primed to follow.

12. I've never been able to understand why these people follow him. I understand it even leas now.

9. Honestly Massie probably doesn't stand a chance

He’s running against Trump in a closed GOP primary. Does anyone think the cult is going to turn on Trump? They will drive this ship right into the iceberg at full speed before jumping ship on Trump.

10. He lost, unfortunately. Damn Trump.
