This is not going to go well for her as she’s not a “moderate” at all:

If you recall, she lost her last race for the KY-06 House seat in a landslide and was caught on tape saying, “I am further left, I am more progressive, than anyone in the state of Kentucky”:

Even Kentucky Dems are predicting she’ll lose:
McGrath lost in a landslide all of the rural, traditionally Democratic north central Kentucky counties in 2018 to Barr. Expanding that statewide in 2020 will put her in Lois Combs Weinberg territory.
