LEXINGTON, Ky. — He may not have dropped $5 million on a piece of prize-winning pork, but former Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin didn’t go unnoticed at Thursday’s Kentucky Farm Bureau Annual Country Ham Breakfast.
The one-term governor, ousted by Democrat Andy Beshear in 2019, is rumored to have been weighing another bid for the Commonwealth’s highest office in 2023. His presence at the Ham Breakfast — and the Jefferson County GOP Lincoln Day Dinner on Wednesday night — may only increase that chatter.
“If I were putting odds on it, I would probably say it’s at 40% that he gets in,” said Auditor Mike Harmon.
