After Democrats flipped Kentucky's gubernatorial office, people speculated it meant trouble for Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, sending"MoscowMitchIsNext" to trend on Twitter.
As of Wednesday morning, the hashtag"MoscowMitchIsNext," had nearly 5,000 tweets tied to it with people expressing their opinion that McConnell should be worried about his place in the Senate. During Tuesday's election, Andy Beshear, a Democrat, defeated incumbent Republican Governor Matt Bevin by a narrow margin of less than half a percentage point. Despite the close race, which Bevin refused to concede, McConnell's critics saw the Democratic victory in a historically red state to be indicative of the senior Kentucky senator's fate.
Kentucky voters first elected McConnell to his position in the Senate during the 1984 election and he's since become the longest-serving senator for the state. He's up for re-election in 2020 and some speculated his time in office may be coming to an end. McConnell has faced heavy criticism since President Donald Trump took office with some claiming he isn't loyal enough to Trump's agenda and others arguing he's not breaking with it enough.
Holly Figueroa O'Reilly, the founder of Blue Wave Crowdsource, an organization that turns online activism into ground campaign support for Democratic candidates, wrote on Twitter that the election was"scaring the pants" off McConnell.Don't let anyone tell you that it's an anomaly.
Anyone who enabled these Republicans trying to avoid truth will be removed from office,blueSide has just begun,We'll put down & retire all tied N w any crooked action,Enabling idiotinchief is a crime, so corrupt & u enabled him 3 years shoving through unqualified judges,PATHETIC

Gov. Matt Bevin refuses to concede Kentucky race, even after secretary of state calls it for Democrat Andy BeshearGovernor Matt Bevin has refused to concede the Kentucky Governor's race, even though the Secretary of State has called the race. That strategy worked out well for Roy Moore, didn’t it? We need to get a plan in place now for when Trump loses the Presidency a year from now and refuses to concede or leave the White House. Probably release estrogen into the White House, because it tends to make Trump run for his life. That's how filthy these Republicans are. Kentucky
