A Kentucky farmer, ex-Marine wants to challenge Mitch McConnell in 2020 US Senate race

While I am glad to see McConnell being challenged, I hope we see a conservative step up and challenge him.  If not, another example of having no other choice but either a RINO or a DEM. 

A Kentucky farmer, ex-Marine wants to challenge Mitch McConnell in 2020 US Senate race

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Kentucky Democrats will have more options on next year's ballot when deciding who should take on Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell in 2020.

Farmer and retired Marine Mike Broihier, a first-time candidate, entered the race Thursday with a three-minute advertisement that calls on voters to forget their labels.

“It's time to retire Mitch McConnell," Broihier said in an interview with the Louisville Courier Journal this week. "We have to do it to restore our democracy, and I've been warned about what he's capable of doing, but it doesn't scare me."

The spot features a diverse group of Kentuckians holding tiny chalkboards with different slurs and descriptions, such as "baby killer" and "hillbilly" and "queer."........

Good luck to him.

But... a question...
Assuming McConnell lost, but Republicans kept their Senate majority, who would be in line to become majority leader in place of the turtle...?

Didn't another Dem candidate put her foot in her mouth - from a Lib/Prog POV - a couple of times?

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

If McConnell loses his seat that would be indicative of how the Senate races are going to go and I don't see the GOP holding onto the majority.
