UPDATE: In the Kentucky Senate Democratic primary race, Booker trails McGrath by a margin of just over 2,400 votes, with 81% of the state's precincts reporting Tuesday morning.

The Kentucky secretary of state said that 161,238 people voted in-person last Tuesday. By last Tuesday morning, 530,196 of the 867,842 ballots sent out before the election had already been returned. Any mail-in ballot postmarked by Tuesday will be counted, the Kentucky secretary of state's office said.

Booker's candidacy has received the support of progressive lawmakers and groups, while McGrath, is backed by several establishment Democrats including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y."Medicare for All," the Green New Deal and universal basic income and campaigned against inequality and racial injustice, has repeatedly tweeted hopeful messages about the race in recent days.

Amy McGrath actually has a better chance of beating Mitch McConnell Booker would have a better chance of beating Rand Paul

May the best person win

McGrath has won the primary.

JoyAnnReid Whomever wins, the other needs to convince their supporters to throw their votes to that person, in order to get rid of Mitch.

This 1.23% margin is thin enough for Booker4KY to demand a recount.

JoyAnnReid What does'81% of the state's precincts reporting' mean? The other 19% have not reported at all? The other 19% have reported, but not their entire vote totals? Some precincts reported in-person but not absentee votes? It is a nonsensical term, not designed to convey information

A Missouri couple went viral Sunday for brandishing guns in the front yard of their home as protesters passed -- but anyone who relies on NBC or ABC's evening newscasts for information wouldn’t know all the details, according to the Media Research Center.

JoyAnnReid Whoever loses needs to help the winner defeat McConnell...full stop

JoyAnnReid This is a prelude to tje fall election. It may be days before all of the votes are counted

Booker! Come on!

JoyAnnReid Only Booker can beat Mitch ....come on 💪🏿

Nail biter. I hope people won’t be complete morons and not vote for the winning candidate bc they didn’t for them in the primary

Wait. People are still allowed to vote for white candidates? Isn't that racist?

I hope it's Booker. But it is KY and so right now as long as the right wing doesn't win in November I am good.

JoyAnnReid If he loses, hopefully he’ll run for Congress in 2 years.

JoyAnnReid AmyMcGrathKY Booker4KY no matter who wins unite for the biggest fight ever defeat Mitch McConnell😡 you two have the power to change the fate of America

I think Amy has a better chance of beating Mitch. I don’t think Kentucky will elect a far left progressive country in the General election.

CHOP killed a black 16 yo teenager and then called him a fascist

I am hearing the fat lady sing

FakeNews MSM

Count was probably rigged

I am supporting Amy McGrath!

Biden’s Surge Could Flip the Senate — and Boost His PresidencyThe sheer number of races in which Republicans are on the defensive, along with Trump’s current struggles, are making a Democratic Senate look like a better-than-even bet Seriously stop with this shit, remember 2016? It’s going to be epic. Everyone must realize that Trumps problems, and his GOP cultists, will only get much worse. There’s no issue for him to “turnaround” before Nov 3.

Senate Democrats to Consider Using Power to Pass Laws If ElectedKey Democrats have signaled that — if they secure the White House and both chambers of Congress next year — they will strongly consider using their power to pass laws. EricLevitz writes on their openness to abolishing the filibuster EricLevitz Uhh.. I would hope so. EricLevitz Is this a parody piece? I don't get it. Isn't this what they are supposed to do? EricLevitz Wow, what a concept. Over two hundred years as a nation and they're just now considering doing their jobs. And they call themselves progressive. Personally I think they all need lobotomies. Oh, i forgot, they did - that's the problem.
