Democrat Gov. Andy Beshear defeated Republican Attorney General Daniel Cameron in Kentucky’s governor race this week.
“Tonight I stand here excited and optimistic about what we’re going to do these next four years together,” Beshear said.
Cameron had reportedly been gaining in the polls in recent days after largely trailing by double-digits since the party primaries in May.
“I pledge to be a governor that represents all of us regardless of your party and regardless of who you voted for,” Beshear said.
Beshear will continue to be one of the last remaining Democrat governors of a deep-red state where Republican voters outnumber Democrat voters.
From Fox News:
Despite Beshear's popularity, Kentucky Republicans had hoped to build off the party's momentum after it flipped the Louisiana governor's mansion red last month with the victory of Attorney General Jeff Landry over his Democrat opponent, who was endorsed by a term-limited Bel Edwards.
