Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear Wins Re-Election
Incumbent Democrat Defies Political Trends
Democrat Andy Beshear has been re-elected as governor of Kentucky, defying the usual political leanings of the state.
Beshear, who was first elected in 2019, secured a second term on Tuesday, according to The Associated Press. He is the son of former Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear.
Kentucky has traditionally been a Republican stronghold, but Beshear's victory reflects a growing trend of Democratic success in the state. In recent years, Kentucky has elected a Democratic senator and two Democratic members of the U.S. House of Representatives.
