Former Kentucky state Rep. Charles Booker (D) launched an exploratory committee Monday to examine the possibility of challenging Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) for the state's U.S. Senate seat as Paul faces reelection next year.

In a video announcement Monday morning, Booker put Paul on notice with a declaration: "We will transform Kentucky. And Rand Paul? You know it too."

In a statement to local news station WBKO, Booker added, "Even in a historic, unprecedented public health and economic crisis, most of our politicians couldn’t be bothered to do anything, voting against survival checks for working families and trying to take away our health care in order to give our money away to wealthy campaign donors.

Well, he's certainly got the empty platitudes for the job.

This guy would be an almost ideal opponent for Rand. Not only is he is extremely progressive but he is aggressively pushing Puerto Rico and DC statehood as well as court packing. Not the kind of Dem Kentucky would consider. Will lose by 25 points.
