Kentucky Sports Radio host Matt Jones continues to mull over a 2020 run for the Democratic nomination for the U.S. Senate seat currently occupied by Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and expects to make a decision in the next three weeks.
Amy McGrath has already announced she’s seeking the nomination and Jones told the Hopkinsville Rotary Club this week that it made his prospects of being successful less likely when national party leaders put their influence behind her campaign last month.
When McGrath got off to a rocky start, Jones says he started hearing from prominent Democrats who were again interested in him running.
Jones says he expects to announce a decision on if he’ll run or not within the next three weeks.
Jones says he would have defeated some of the more powerful parts of the Democratic and Republican parties if he were to run and be successful.
