McGrath and Booker move toward unity after contentious Democratic primary

Days after a contentious Democratic Primary for U.S. Senate, Democratic nominee Amy McGrath and state Rep. Charles Booker, who lost by almost 3 percentage points, are moving to unify the party heading into November’s general election.

While McGrath alienated progressive voters through much of the primary, on Twitter Thursday, Booker signaled he is willing to support McGrath’s campaign.

“Our common enemy is Mitch,” said Booker, D-Louisville. “We must beat him, so we can do the real work. I understand that, and am reaching out to @AmyMcGrathKY to discuss how we can truly work together.”

McGrath later chimed in, saying Booker’s “voice and perspective are much needed.”

Do they know what DINO means?
Aside from the coded words like 'Establishment', it appears McGrath is also 'Wall Street'.

Good luck Mr Booker. And I truly mean that.
