VERSAILLES, Ky. — Sen. Mitch McConnell told a crowd of his supporters at a farm property Monday the only way to make sure Kentucky values are represented at the national level is to re-elect him as Kentucky’s senator.

“We’re uniquely situated to punch above our weight in Washington,” McConnell said.

McConnell touched on many of the themes he has campaigned on all year at his final scheduled campaign appearance of 2020; tying his opponent, Amy McGrath, to Democratic leaders in New York and California.

“The Democrats are different from even the way they were under Obama, not to mention under Clinton. The moderates are gone. They have all disappeared,” McConnell said. “This is a hard left, radical party, looking down their noses at all of us in what they call, ‘Flyover country.’”

McConnell wasn’t alone Monday, either.

Several other Republicans joined the Senate Majority Leader, including Republican Rep. Andy Barr in his own re-election bid, Kentucky Agriculture Commissioner Ryan Quarles, and McConnell’s wife, Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao.

“He represents all of us who are between the coasts, and his importance is not only to Kentucky but to all of us,” Chao said.

Because of the pandemic, Kentucky has more options to vote before election day than ever before; something McConnell expects to help Democrats.

That’s why he said this week is critical.

“Because all indications are that the people who are going to vote for Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell will turn out in large numbers today and tomorrow,” McConnell said. “So don’t run out of energy.”

McGrath hit multiple spots during the final day of her campaign Monday. Democrat Josh Hicks, Barr’s opponent in Kentucky’s sixth congressional district, joined McGrath in Lexington.
