WASHINGTON _ A top Senate Democrat has some stark advice for Amy McGrath, who said Tuesday she'll challenge Republican titan Mitch McConnell next year for the Senate.
"She has to get people in Kentucky who are fed up with Washington enough to say McConnell is part of the problem," said Senate Minority Whip Richard Durbin of Illinois, the Senate's second-ranking Democrat.
McGrath's announcement was another in a series of Democratic moves aimed at flipping the Senate, which McConnell and Republicans have controlled for the past three years.
