Throughout the campaign, Gov. Andy Beshear (D) repeatedly challenged Attorney General Daniel Cameron (R) on his anti-abortion stance in this ruby-red state.
Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear has won re-election against challenger Attorney General Daniel Cameron , per NBC News, in a race where abortion was surprisingly prominent. This victory won’t restore abortion rights in the state, but it’s a win not to have someone who is so vehemently opposed to abortion in the governor’s mansion. Beshear—son of former Gov. Steve Beshear —beat incumbent Gov. Matt Bevin in 2019 by four-tenths of a point, or about 5,000 votes.
The statewide TV ad featured Hadley Duvall, a 21-year-old who said on camera that her stepfather raped her at age 12. Duvall then addressed the GOP nominee directly: “This is to you, Daniel Cameron. To tell a 12-year-old girl she must have the baby of her stepfather who raped her is unthinkable,” she said. “I’m speaking out because women and girls need to have options. Daniel Cameron would give us none.
