Kentucky Democrat Amy McGrath raised $2.5 million in the first 24 hours since mounting a challenge to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, her campaign says
McGrath faces long odds in unseating McConnell, a fundraising juggernaut himself, and despite outraising her Republican opponent last year she was unable to get elected to the US House. But Wednesday's figures are nonetheless a sign of enthusiasm for her candidacy.She received more than 69,000 individual donations online with an average contribution of $36, her campaign manager Mark Nickolas said.
She emerged as an unlikely fundraising force, raking in millions of dollars after her campaign released a biographical video that went viral, and became a Democratic celebrity in the process. But even as she outraised Barr by $3 million, McGrath failed to win the race, losing to her Republican competitor by about 3 points. McGrath also has her work cut out for her in a state that went to President Donald Trump in 2016 by nearly 30 points.
