Former state Rep. Charles Booker has won the Democratic Senate primary in Kentucky, per NBC News. He is now set to face Donald Trump-backed Rep. Andy Barr in the fall.
Booker is married to Tanesha Booker, and the couple share three daughters – Kaylin, Prestyn, and Justyce.
Tanesha frequently appears alongside her husband on the campaign trail and made headlines in 2014 when she appeared in a campaign ad supporting Alison Lundergan Grimes that criticized McConnell.
Booker became the youngest Black state legislator in nearly 90 years after being elected to the state house.
He said at the time, "I don't come from politics, you know, in our community, you folks that are running for office or in elected office, they'll come around when it's election time, but otherwise, we're invisible, you know, and we're survivors."
