Leader McConnell, the only party leader in Washington not from California or New York, said that his reelection means Kentucky keeps a "front row seat" in the Senate:

McConnell: I never would have imagined that Kentuckians would make me the longest serving senator in Kentucky history....

"Tonight, Kentuckians said we're keeping our front row seat in the Senate."

Democrat operatives and donors poured upwards of $100 million into McGrath’s long shot bid to unseat the GOP’s most effective legislator in Washington; those millions are now worth about as much as McGrath’s political career.

Democrats and their allies set fire to nearly $100 million in Kentucky only to watch Mitch McConnell beat Amy McGrath by double-digits.

A year and a half and $100 million later, @AmyMcGrathKY isn’t cracking 40% with 24 hours to go.
