Republican Daniel Cameron is picking apart the Democratic governor’s record in trying to energize his party's growing base in Kentucky's gubernatorial race.
Kentucky Attorney General and Republican candidate for Governor Daniel Cameron speaks to supporters during a stop of his statewide bus tour in London, Ky., Tuesday, Oct. 31, 2023. – Looking to energize his party's growing base, Republican Daniel Cameron picked apart Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear's record Tuesday in Kentucky's hotly contested gubernatorial campaign.
Beshear and Cameron, one-time law firm colleagues, are making closing arguments to voters ahead of Election Day next Tuesday. Starting this Thursday, polling places open for three days of early voting in one of the nation's most closely watched off-year elections. Cameron criticized the governor for vetoing a pair of transgender bills, trying to keep the heat on the governor on a social issue that conservatives across the country have emphasized.
Beshear has accused his Republican challenger of trying to stoke divisions with his emphasis on transgender issues. Beshear invokes his Christian faith and support for parental rights to counter the criticism he’s faced since vetoing the bill banning gender-affirming care."I believe that all children are children of God,” the governor said earlier in the campaign.
“We will not accept in our governor’s mansion anymore someone who has emboldened Joe Biden,” Cameron said.“My opponent wants to nationalize this race because he knows he can’t win if it’s me vs. him," Beshear said while campaigning Monday."This is, in the end, Andy Beshear vs. Daniel Cameron — about who your chief executive is and not about the presidential race next year.
Republicans need a strong turnout in the region that includes London, which was the heart of GOP territory long before it became the state's. Republicans surpassed Democrats in statewide voter registration last year, reflecting the GOP's electoral dominance. The GOP holds both U.S. Senate seats, five of six congressional seats and have overwhelming majorities in the state legislature.
