Former Marine pilot Amy McGrath has overcome a bumpier-than-expected Kentucky primary to win the Democratic U.S. Senate nomination.

Former Marine pilot Amy McGrath overcame a bumpier-than-expected Kentucky primary to win the Democratic U.S. Senate nomination Tuesday, fending off progressive Charles Booker to set up a bruising, big-spending showdown with Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.

Kentucky switched to widespread absentee voting amid the coronavirus outbreak, and election officials needed days to count ballots. McConnell, a key ally to President Trump, already breezed to victory in the GOP primary in his bid for a seventh term.
