Governor Andy Beshear and challenger Attorney General Daniel Cameron faced off for the first time in a debate in Western Kentucky Thursday. Cameron repeatedly linked Beshear to President Biden, while Beshear repeatedly told the audience of his administration’s achievements. Dr. Stephen Voss, a University of Kentucky political science professor, said the main goal for candidates in debates is to not administer self-inflicted wounds.
“I didn't really notice anything that's particularly likely to shoot either candidate in the foot. So in the sense the rule is do no harm, both candidates stayed within those boundaries.”
