Hello,
Not a day goes by that we don’t hear somebody say, “Sure, Mitch McConnell is terrible, but can a Democrat actually defeat him in 2020?”
And our reply is always the same: Yes! We have a real chance to finally defeat Mitch McConnell once and for all.
We have a strong Democratic challenger named Amy McGrath who announced earlier this summer that she’s running against him. Mitch is the most unpopular senator in the entire country. His approval ratings in his home state of Kentucky are lower than they’ve ever been. Even in ruby red Kentucky, a new poll shows that McConnell is only leading McGrath by only ONE percentage point.
And now we have an answer from the most trusted source in politics, Nate Silver, about Amy McGrath’s chances of taking down McConnell next November:

It’s not going to be easy to take down the most powerful man in Washington, but together, we are building a grassroots movement strong enough to send him packing.
Mitch is going to use the campaign war chest of money that he’s taken from Wall Street, Big Pharma, Big Oil, and the NRA to throw everything he’s got at Amy and anyone else who tries to challenge him. He will do and say anything to stay in power.
That’s where we come in – that’s where you come in.
Already, over 82,000 people have chipped in and joined our movement to Ditch Mitch. But we don’t have corporations or special interests funding us like Mitch does. Instead, we’re 100% funded by everyday donors just like you.
We’ve set a goal of raising $400,000 before our end-of-month fundraising deadline to defeat Mitch McConnell, but right now we are still $77,440 away and in very real danger of falling short.
It won’t be easy to defeat Mitch McConnell, but when we do, it’ll be because we did it together.
Thank you for being a part of it all from the start,
The Ditch Mitch Fund
