Amy McGrath won the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate in Kentucky on June 23, 2020. Nine other candidates were on the ballot.
Media attention focused on Charles Booker, Mike Broihier, and McGrath.[3][4]
McGrath said she was progressive on some issues and conservative on others.[5] She supported improving on the Affordable Care Act and gradually increasing the minimum wage. Booker and Broihier ran as progressives. Their platforms included a universal basic income, Medicare for All, and immediately raising the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour. McGrath opposed a universal basic income.[6]
The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and VoteVets were among McGrath's endorsers. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) endorsed Booker. Former Democratic presidential candidates Marianne Williamson and Andrew Yang endorsed Broihier.
McGrath had raised $41 million as of June 3—more than any other U.S. Senate candidate nationally. The Senate candidate with the second-highest total was Mitch McConnell (R), Kentucky's incumbent senator seeking re-election. He had raised $33 million. Two other Senate candidates nationally had raised more than $20 million.[7]
Booker had the second-highest fundraising total in the Senate Democratic primary at $793,000. Broihier was third with $494,000.
Also on the ballot were Jimmy Ausbrooks, Maggie Jo Hilliard, Andrew Maynard, Eric Rothmuller, John Sharpensteen, Bennie Smith, and Mary Ann Tobin. Ausbrooks suspended his campaign and endorsed Broihier.[8]
McConnell was first elected in 1984. As of 2020, he was the Senate majority leader.

Primaries in Kentucky
A primary election is an election in which registered voters select a candidate that they believe should be a political party's candidate for elected office to run in the general election. They are also used to choose convention delegates and party leaders. Primaries are state-level and local-level elections that take place prior to a general election. Kentucky utilizes a closed primary process, in which the selection of a party's candidates in an election is limited to registered party members.[32][33][34]
For information about which offices are nominated via primary election, see this article.
General election race ratings
- See also: Race rating definitions and methods
Ballotpedia provides race ratings from three outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, and Sabato's Crystal Ball. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:
- Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
- Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
- Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.[35]
- Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.
Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.[36][37][38]
