In upset, Democrat Andy Beshear poised to defeat Trump-backed Kentucky governor by josephax
- Kentucky’s Republican governor, Matt Bevin, appeared poised on Tuesday to lose to Democratic challenger Andy Beshear, despite the state’s strong Republican leanings and an election-eve rally headlined by U.S. President Donald Trump.
The remarks reflected the extent to which Bevin, 52, sought to nationalize the campaign, emphasizing his support for Trump amid a Democratic-led impeachment inquiry of the Republican president in Congress. Trump rallied in Mississippi last week with the Republican candidate, Lieutenant Governor Tate Reeves, who is running against Attorney General Jim Hood, a moderate Democrat who favors gun rights and opposes abortion rights. Like Bevin, Reeves campaigned as a staunch supporter of Trump, who easily carried Mississippi in the 2016 presidential election.
Overall, the election results will be closely scrutinized for clues to how next year’s presidential contest will unfold. While none of the four states voting on Tuesday – New Jersey also had legislative elections – is likely to be up for grabs in November 2020, the outcomes could offer an early measuring stick for the Democratic presidential candidates eager to deny Trump a second four-year term.
