Matt Bevin was his main threat who got 35% of the vote.
Three other got 5% between them and McConnell got 60%.
Incumbents generally have the inside track.

Mitch will likely squeak it out. Incumbents are harder to get rid of than gum off the bottom of your shoe.

Only a fool thinks things should be FAIR.

Incumbents do have an advantage. They have a track record for voters to see as opposed to rhetorical claims what the non-incumbent will do if elected. Every hear of Bird in the Hand, beats two in the bush?

Obviously McConnel was able to satisfy 60% of the voters.

Don’t get me wrong, I think he’s a dog and I sure as heck would not have voted for him.
