MoscowMitchIsNext trends after Republican Matt Bevin loses Kentucky governor's race
After Democrats flipped Kentucky's gubernatorial office, people speculated it meant trouble for Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, sending"MoscowMitchIsNext" to trend on Twitter.
As of Wednesday morning, the hashtag"MoscowMitchIsNext," had nearly 5,000 tweets tied to it with people expressing their opinion that McConnell should be worried about his place in the Senate. During Tuesday's election, Andy Beshear, a Democrat, defeated incumbent Republican Governor Matt Bevin by a narrow margin of less than half a percentage point. Despite the close race, which Bevin refused to concede, McConnell's critics saw the Democratic victory in a historically red state to be indicative of the senior Kentucky senator's fate.
Kentucky voters first elected McConnell to his position in the Senate during the 1984 election and he's since become the longest-serving senator for the state. He's up for re-election in 2020 and some speculated his time in office may be coming to an end. McConnell has faced heavy criticism since President Donald Trump took office with some claiming he isn't loyal enough to Trump's agenda and others arguing he's not breaking with it enough.
Holly Figueroa O'Reilly, the founder of Blue Wave Crowdsource, an organization that turns online activism into ground campaign support for Democratic candidates, wrote on Twitter that the election was"scaring the pants" off McConnell.Don't let anyone tell you that it's an anomaly.
