LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - Sen. Rand Paul is calling for Republicans across Kentucky to support Sen. Mitch McConnell in his campaign against Democrat Alison Lundergan Grimes.
The first-term senator, considered a possible 2016 presidential candidate, said Friday that a vote for Grimes would be a vote for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and his policy of advancing President Barack Obama’s agenda.
McConnell says he has not spoken to Matt Bevin since defeating him in Tuesday’s Republican primary. But he says he was not worried about losing Republican votes in the general election.
Grimes released an open letter to Bevin’s supporters on Friday saying McConnell will lie about her in campaign ads just as he lied about Bevin. She urged them to get to know her and her true positions.
