Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear has beaten his Republican challenger. Beshear is a blue governor in a red state, and the race saw national politics as a primary issue.

      Implication being that if Republicans are losing in states they think they should win, they’re not going to change their positions, candidates, or arguments, but instead try to rig the system so they still win.

        There might be 4 or 5 examples, but can you name 6? If you can, I’m going to need 7! If 7 then 8! If 8 then…

        And you could, the Conservative Party of the US really, really likes this move.

        Look at the other statewide races in KY though. Beshear is just popular enough as governor. This single race means nothing for the state on a national level. National Democratic politics will not swing KY in 2024.
