Let’s add to McConnell’s worries about the ‘quality’ of Republican Senate candidates
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is sounding less than thrilled with the choice of MAGA America in Senate primaries. He’s been left with a “quality” issue, he says.
“I think there’s probably a greater likelihood the House flips than the Senate. Senate races are just different—they’re statewide, candidate quality has a lot to do with the outcome,” McConnell told reporters at a Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce luncheon Thursday. “Right now, we have a 50-50 Senate and a 50-50 country, but I think when all is said and done this fall, we’re likely to have an extremely close Senate, either our side up slightly or their side up slightly.”
It is not a 50-50 country. It is a country in which less than one-fifth of the population elects half of the Senate because the Senate is an inherently undemocratic institution. That aside, LOL! “Candidate quality.” LOL!
