WASHINGTON — The Senate announcements sure have been dropping in the last 24 hours:

On MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Democrat Amy McGrath — who lost her high-profile Kentucky House race last year — said she’s taking on Mitch McConnell (and at the least she’ll raise A LOT of money).

In Kansas, Kris Kobach — who lost his gubernatorial bid against Democrat Laura Kelly in 2018 — says he’s running for the Senate seat being vacated by Sen. Pat Roberts, R-Kansas (and that has national Republicans worried Kobach could cost them a winnable seat).

And in Virginia, another politician who lost in 2018 (are you noticing a trend?) — former Rep. Scott Taylor, R-Va. — said he’s taking on Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va.

Add them all up, and you’re starting to see the 2020 Senate map finally come into focus.
