Beshear beat out Attorney General Daniel Cameron, who received the endorsement of former President Donald Trump.
Kentucky’s Democratic Governor Andy Beshear has been reelected Tuesday night, according to the Associated Press (AP), which may prove worrisome for Republicans ahead of the 2024 presidential election.
Beshear beat out Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron, who received the endorsement of former President Donald Trump. Despite Kentucky’s conservative lean, the governor’s race was widely expected to be competitive. Beshear is a popular governor who narrowly defeated former Governor Matt Bevin in 2019, winning by less than a half percentage point.
A previous Emerson College poll released on Friday also put Beshear and Cameron tied at 47 percent of the vote, with 4 percent of respondents undecided and 2 percent opting for someone else.
