Would Booker have carried it if they didn't ratfuck it for VeteranMcGrathVeteran? I don't know how much of McConnel's overwhelming win was for him and how much was against the moderate democrat.
No. But then Booker wouldn't have been rolling around in eight-digits worth of donor money to begin with. He ran a lean campaign and focused on community organization, rather than outside financial aid and media saturation.
At 799k, McGrath actually underperformed 813k won by Jim Gray in 2016 and 847k won by Bruce Lunsford in 2008, while McConnell brought in a record-setting 1.2M

Not great for a general election match up unless you do Bernie v Trump heads up.
Also, throwing money at Kentucky was a very obviously stupid move.

McGrath offered nothing other than: I'm not Mitch

Which is what the main biden campaign was as well
People need things to vote for, not just against

Bernie actually has policies that connect with people
