Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron, the Republican nominee for governor of the Commonwealth, is making his final pitch to voters ahead of Election Day as his bid to unseat the Democratic incumbent remains in a dead heat. Cameron, supported by former President Donald Trump, is gaining momentum in the polls against Democratic Governor Andy Beshear.
Cameron voiced his criticism of Beshear’s endorsement of President Joe Biden, citing the shutdown of schools, churches, and small businesses, as well as the lack of protection for women’s sports from biological males. He emphasized the need for leadership that reflects the values of the people of Kentucky.
Highlighting the opposition to President Biden’s policies and the economic impact on Kentuckians, Cameron pointed out the rising inflation, increased grocery and gas prices, and soaring utility bills. He echoed Trump’s endorsement, calling Beshear’s leadership an “absolute disaster.”
Cameron urged his supporters to take advantage of early voting, a shift from the party’s previous stance, and emphasized the importance of sending a message to the nation about Kentucky’s values and rejecting far-left ideology.
Despite Beshear’s popularity and being one of the few remaining Democratic governors in a red state, the race remains highly competitive. Election Day is scheduled for Tuesday, November 7.
