The Future of Kentucky's Democratic Governors Hangs in the Balance
TL;DR
Donald Trump's endorsement of Republican candidate Daniel Cameron in Kentucky's gubernatorial race did not have the desired impact as Cameron lost to incumbent Democrat Andy Beshear. Trump initially boasted about Cameron's surge after his endorsement but later blamed Cameron's association with Mitch McConnell for the loss. Beshear campaigned on issues important to state voters and won about 53 percent of the vote compared to Cameron's 47 percent.
