Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell said Thursday that the former Republican leader will not run for re-election in 2026.

Amy McGrath, the Democratic U.S. Senate candidate who got walloped by incumbent GOP Sen. Mitch McConnell in 2020, losing by nearly 20%, has mounted a bid to replace the long-serving Republican lawmaker who is not seeking re-election in 2026.

Amy McGrath announces another bid for US Senate in Kentucky

Retired marine fighter pilot and former Democratic House and Senate candidate Amy McGrath announced Monday she’s running for Sen. Mitch McConnell’s seat again in 2026.

McGrath lost against McConnell in 2020 by nearly 20 percentage points, despite spending more than $90 million over the life of her campaign. In a much closer 2018 House race, McGrath lost against U.S. Rep. Andy Barr by less than 10,000 votes.

Now McGrath is back, launching her campaign for the Democratic nomination with the campaign tagline, “Country over Party,” a slogan with former Vice President Kamala Harris also used in her 2024 presidential bid. In her campaign ad, McGrath made a familiar pitch based on her experience as a Marine Corps fighter pilot.
