The election that culminates Tuesday will decide whether incumbent Andy Beshear can buck political trends in a state that strongly backed the former president
Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear, left, and Republican Attorney General Daniel Cameron participate in a gubernatorial debate at Northern Kentucky University, in Highland Heights, Ky., on Oct. 16.
Asked what lessons his race held for Democrats in red and purple states, Beshear deflected with a message for both parties to “care about everyone.” Some of the themes the race has pivoted on are expected to be front and center next November, making it an early gauge of arguments both sides are testing this year — though a far from perfect one, given the unique contours of the state, including its ruby red hue.Democrats nationally are wagering that impassioned support for abortion rights will continue to propel them to success across the political spectrum.
“There’s a comfort level and a familiarity with the name,” said Tres Watson, a GOP consultant and former spokesman for the Kentucky Republican Party. And “once that name Beshear is removed from the ballot, it’s going to be a Republican governorship for the foreseeable future,” he predicted. Even at a campaign stop at the University of Louisville this week — where he addressed a young audience more attuned to social issues — Beshear stuck to his core economic pitch. He touted a new hospital underway in west Louisville. “We’ve become the electric vehicle battery production capital of the United States of America!” he declared to cheers that drowned out a small gaggle of students protesting Israel.
Cameron assailed the Beshear administration’s orders to close churches and schools amid covid-19, which some voters echoed.“Ladies and gentlemen, before we do that, we’ve got to remove his biggest enabler here in Kentucky, and that is Andy Beshear,” Cameron said, echoing mailers that depict Beshear kneeling to “King Biden” and dressed up as a Toy Story character, acting as a puppet to a giant hand.Beshear has rejected those charges as “anger” politics.
