That’s what it looks like.
After making a bunch of noise about a potential Senate bid against Mitch McConnell — and against any Democrat who was considering the race — outgoing Kentucky Attorney General Greg Stumbo openly mulled the possibility of returning to the state legislature instead.
It looks like the road is now clear for Stumbo to return to his old state House seat. The district’s current incumbent, state Rep. Brandon Spencer (D) abruptly resigned his seat tonight, after previously indicating that he would run again. Stumbo will release a statement tomorrow morning.
I think we can put two and two together here. Thanks for spending so much time dissing Crit, Greg!
UPDATE: Stumbo has made it official.
Instead of trying to snag an important gain of a seat in the Senate where we have a shot but really need someone to step up, he’s decided to take the job of an already seated Democrat in the state senate. How…um, courageous?
