McConnell Ad Says McGrath is Too Liberal for KY

Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell has unleashed a TV ad aimed at cementing an image of his well-funded Democratic challenger in the minds of voters.

The ad portrays Amy McGrath as too liberal for Kentucky on abortion and border security.

And it plays up her support for the impeachment of President Donald Trump.

The Senate majority leader's ad was released statewide Tuesday.

McGrath’s campaign says the attack ad shows that McConnell is “running scared.” 

The ad comes about a month before the state’s primary.

McGrath is seen as the front-runner in a crowded Democratic field.
