“We’re gonna win this race,” Booker told a crowd of supporters in Bowling Green on Friday. “We’re going to win THIS race. We are going to win … this … race. We. Will. Win.” Roughly a month before the primary, which was pushed back a month by the pandemic, 19 members of the House Democratic Caucus endorsed their colleague’s Senate bid. The list included legislators from Kentucky’s urban centers and legislators from coal country. House Democratic Leader Joni Jenkins took a swipe at McGrath, saying that Kentucky voters “will not be bought.”
His near-daily presence at Louisville marches and rallies made him a regular on the local news. He appeared alongside Mayor Greg Fischer at a press conference to demand “justice, and accountability and humanity for the people in our city.” He led a march with rapper Jack Harlow and Timberwolves guard D’Angelo Russell.
