Anti-Trump Republicans within the party offered a variety of reactions to Daniel Cameron’s loss in the Kentucky governor’s race.
NBC News called the race for Kentucky Democrat incumbent Gov. Andy Beshear Tuesday evening, as did several other outlets.

CBS News projects Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear, a Democrat, will win reelection and is performing better in counties Donald Trump won in 2020.
“When people ask the political question, ‘Can a Democrat win in a red state?’ This is the pattern for how you do it,” @SalvantoCBS says. pic.twitter.com/R6DQmxicpn

I’ve seen enough: Andy Beshear (D) wins reelection in #KYGOV, defeating Daniel Cameron (R).

With 87 percent of the votes in, Beshear led Cameron by 5.2 percent — a difference of 63,565 votes. The results, predictably, triggered a wave of gloating from Democrats, particularly with the pro-abortion issue winning in Ohio as well. But the Never Trump crowd appeared to remain united in one thing: Hating the former president.
“Whoa. Why is the @RonDeSantis crew celebrating Daniel Cameron’s loss?! Daniel would have been the first Black Republican Governor since Reconstruction,” Richard Grenell said of the anti-Trump sentiments across social media.
Whoa.
Why is the @RonDeSantis crew celebrating Daniel Cameron’s loss?!
Daniel would have been the first Black Republican Governor since Reconstruction.
