The Kentucky governor’s race will be one of the biggest elections of the year. Republicans are trying to unseat a popular Democratic governor who has managed to hang on in a red state, but first they’ll have to get through a divided primary on Tuesday.
He ousted an unpopular Republican governor in 2019. His name is well-known in the state; his father was also governor. During his tenure, the state has suffered multiple tragedies — after the pandemic came deadly tornadoes and floods, then a mass shooting at a Louisville bank this month. Beshear had previously sidestepped pro-gun legislation, neither signing nor vetoing a bill that became law protecting Kentucky from stricter federal gun regulations.
Attorney General Daniel Cameron: He’s a polished politician and the first Black attorney general in the state. Trump has endorsed him, and Cameron hasn’t backed down from his embrace after a jury recently decided Trump sexually abused a woman decades ago. “I’m honored to have President Trump’s endorsement,” Cameron said hours after the jury announced its verdict.
State Agriculture Commissioner Ryan Quarles: Like Cameron, he’s been elected statewide in Kentucky before. He talks about growing up on a farm in rural Kentucky and is hoping his quieter campaign style will capture voters turned off by the bickering from the other two candidates.
