KY is a a red state. Remember that MD and MA both had Rep governors recently. KS has a Dem governor.
Tonight, Reps will sweep all statewide races in dominating fashion. The Reps running for AG and Secretary of State are winning their races by greater margins than Beshear is winning over Cameron.
The KY state legislature is overwhelmingly controlled by the Reps. 31-7 in the Senate and 80-19 in the House.
Both US Senators are Reps. And in the House delegation it is 5 to 1.
Maybe they figure Beshear can’t go too far to the left, and so they figure it was best to stick with the devil they know.
The problem is there’s enough suburban Kentucky republicans that don’t want a black guy running the state
Thank you for your informative post in #189. Glad to know Kentucky is still indeed a red state. :-)
