1. Mitch McConnell is up for re-election in Kentucky.
2. A Democrat, Andy Beshear, recently won statewide to become governor of Kentucky.
3. His father was governor too. IOW a Democrat, running a smart campaign and generating sufficient turnout, can win statewide in Kentucky.

The Democratic primary is June 23rd. Here is a bit more about the candidates: kentucky.com/news/politics-…
It's also notable that the primary will take place in the wake of not just the George Floyd murder in Minneapolis and the global protests over that, but also after the police killing of a popular black chef, David McAtee: kentucky.com/news/politics-…
