| Subject: Beat it, punk: Sen. Mitch McConnell's Campaign Manager Quits in Scandal Fallout Fri Aug 29, 2014 9:11 pm | |
| Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's campaign manager resigned Friday amid fallout from a scandal in Iowa involving a presidential campaign he worked for in 2012. Jesse Benton said he didn't want to become a distraction as McConnell tries to win a tough re-election campaign in Kentucky.
"This decision breaks my heart, but I know it is the right thing for Mitch, for Kentucky and for the country," Benton said in a statement. Benton's resignation comes barely two months before Kentucky voters choose between McConnell, the top-ranking Senate Republican, and Democratic challenger Alison Lundergan Grimes.
