WASHINGTON — It seemed in many ways like nothing new: another high-ranking Republican official offering a dubious assertion about the potent political powers of President Donald Trump.
Perhaps Trump’s visit to the state on Monday night did indeed help. Bevin is trailing Andy Beshear, his Democratic rival, by only a few thousand votes and is now seeking a recanvassing of absentee ballots.

The fear of losing can be a powerful motivator in driving voters to the polls, said Sam Nunberg, a former Trump aide.
Trump has repeatedly denounced as false polls commissioned by news organizations, including Fox News, that show his dismal approval ratings, claiming that only his campaign has the real numbers.
