He’s up for re-election…
If he felt he was safe?
He wouldn’t care about his opponent?….
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) writes to challenger Amy McGrath (D):
“I am challenging you to a socially distanced, Lincoln-Douglas style debate with a time-keeping moderator agreed upon by each of us. This would be a debate just between the two of us. No notes at the table, no props, and no audience.”

I always hear about how much Kentuckians dislike McConnell and the state has a good Democratic governor who has managed COVID-19 better than the neighboring states. Maybe the race isn’t tighter because, as Jack said, Southern Republicans are strongly Republican especially in Presidential races. McGrath should be able to win the debate handily.
I’m thinking something IS up that the old timer wants a debate….
Seems strange?
