LOUISVILLE, Ky. _ Soren Norris wasn't talking about impeachment, Ukraine, or even President Donald Trump himself when he finally sensed an opportunity to win over a GOP voter.
The field director for a labor-backed group was walking door-to-door in this leafy suburban neighborhood when he met Don Cooper, a self-described Republican who praised the country's "booming" economy. But when the conversation turned to health care, Cooper readily acknowledged that he thought people with preexisting conditions should have insurance _ and Norris saw his opening.
"I know (Andy) Beshear is for preexisting conditions," Norris said, pointing Cooper to a pamphlet that described the health care positions of Kentucky's Democratic gubernatorial nominee.
