LEXINGTON, Ky. — The stage is officially set for what is widely expected to be the nation’s most expensive, contentious and closely watched election of 2023 — the Kentucky governor’s race.
The Nov. 7 showdown pits popular incumbent Democrat Andy Beshear against rising GOP star Attorney General Daniel Cameron. Even in a deeply red Southern state, Republicans know Beshear will be tough to beat.
State Senate Majority Floor Leader Damon Thayer, R-Georgetown, said that the entire state GOP needs to be “ready to give it our all” to beat Beshear.
