LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Democrat Amy McGrath is flush with campaign cash as she enters the final days of her bid to unseat Sen. Mitch McConnell in Kentucky.

McGrath’s ad comes after her campaign-finance report showed she brought in $36.8 million from July through September. McConnell raised $15.6 million for the same period. Both campaigns are bombarding the state with ads, with McConnel’s new ad attacking McGrath’s abortion-rights stance.  McConnell is seeking a seventh-term with McGrath widely considered to be mounting an uphill challenge.
