Democratic Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear looks set to pull off a big win in Letcher County, which former President Donald Trump won by nearly 60 points in 2020, as he fended off a challenge from Republican Daniel Cameron to secure a second term in office.
With more than 95 percent of the votes cast in Kentucky counted, Beshear had 53 percent of the vote to Cameron’s 47 percent, with the Associated Press calling the race for the Democratic incumbent.
Beshear’s victory looked particularly impressive in Letcher County, in the east of Kentucky, which voted for Trump by 79.1 percent of the vote versus 19.7 percent for Joe Biden in 2020. By contrast, in 2023 Beshear is leading in the county with 52 percent of the vote against 48 percent for Cameron, the Kentucky attorney general.
No, being white male is still a requirement. Being 70+ helps.
Not sure where you’ve been but we had two non white male in the last 16 years; a black one and an orange one.
An optical illusion I say.
