KY-GOV: Kentucky Republicans risk bruising primary in bid to unseat Beshear

[RandySF]

Kentucky Republicans are bracing for a tense and potentially bruising primary in their bid to oust Andy Beshear, the popular Democratic governor facing reelection.

State Attorney General Daniel Cameron, former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Kelly Craft and state Agriculture Commissioner Ryan Quarles are frontrunners in the 12-candidate primary, which will take place on May 16.

Cameron’s name recognition has made him the candidate to beat at the outset. Craft and a super PAC supporting her have spent millions to raise her profile and negatively frame Cameron.

“Can Craft’s resources overcome Cameron’s celebrity? I mean, that’s been the real question of this race,” Scott Jennings, a Republican strategist who’s worked on Sen. Mitch McConnell’s (R-Ky.) campaigns, told The Hill last week.

2. If enough people in this state had a brain. There would be no repuke

In any office anywhere. But I can say the same thing about every state.

3. AG Cameron is best known for screwing up the Breonna Taylor murder investigation

I hardly call that, "celebrity." More like notoriety.

Rethuglicans really have nothing to whack Gov. Beshear with, other than being a Dem. He's brought a phenomenal number of jobs and money into this state.
