Committee of Dems Change Course on Kentucky Campaign Funding for Ads
Published at
State of Kentucky(WASHINGTON) — Alison Lundergan Grimes has a reason to smile today. Her campaign in Kentucky just cleared a hurdle that could have hurt her chances with voters.
After the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee announced its decision last week to stop spending money on television ads in the high-profile race, the committee changed direction to go back on the air in the Bluegrass State, a DSCC official confirmed to ABC News.
The committee’s initial decision to halt funding had been a signal they didn’t see a pathway anymore for Grimes’ uphill battle against Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. Instead, committee members decided to pour money into races they hoped to win, like that of Georgia.
The committee changed course, however, since the race in Kentucky has tightened, with undecided voters breaking toward Grimes.
