Kentucky Democratic lawmaker Pamela Stevenson has launched her campaign for the U.S. Senate, looking to take the spot long held by Sen. Mitch McConnell.

Writer and journalist Michael Tackett speaks in Louisville Thursday about his new biography on Kentucky's senior Senator, Mitch McConnell. He spoke with LPM's Bill Burton.

Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell is announcing on Thursday that he won’t seek reelection next year, ending a decadeslong tenure as a power broker who championed conservative causes but ultimately ceded ground to the fierce GOP populism of President Donald Trump.

The United States is getting back into the TNT game for the first time in nearly four decades, and Kentucky is the setting.

Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell made critical remarks about then-President Donald Trump in private as part of a series of personal oral histories that he made available to an Associate Press bureau chief.

The Senate Republican leader has consistently clashed with Trump, most forcefully after the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol.

After announcing he'll step down from Senate leadership in November, U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell is weighing a Trump endorsement.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's recent health concerns have spotlighted Kentucky's appointment system. It's one of a handful of states where political parties get a say.

The Senate minority leader said Tuesday that anyone seeking the presidency, which includes Trump, "would have a very hard time being sworn in" if the Constitution was suspended.

The development comes after years of Republican electoral victories in Kentucky and dwindling returns for Democrats.
