Amid Trump Backlash, Hundreds Expected To Question Barr

Anti-Trump anger has fueled a number of large protests across the country this year, culminating in a special election in a Republican House district in Georgia where a 30-year-old Democrat was the top vote getter while narrowly avoiding a runoff later this summer. Kentucky's 6th Congressional District is a prime candidate because it contains the Democratic strongholds of Lexington, the state's second-largest city, and Frankfort, the state capitol. He easily won re-election in 2014 and 2016. [...] as chairman of a key subcommittee on the House Financial Services committee, Barr has already raised three-quarters of a million dollars for his re-election campaign. Barr said voters elected him and Trump because both promised to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, which has led to an additional 400,000 people getting health insurance in Kentucky while also driving up the price of premiums. Despite that, Kentucky Democratic Party spokesman Daniel Lowry said "there is a lot of interest" in the seat and the party will field a strong candidate to challenge Barr. [...] Barr says he will continue holding public events in Kentucky, even while other Republican officials are avoiding them.
