Kentucky governor: Andrew Beshear(D) has won re-election. Daniel Cameron couldn't win against Beshear in a solid red state. Cameron ran a mediocre campaign that solely focused on his Trump endorsement.
Republicans still managed to win all of the downballot offices: SOS, AG, Treasurer and Agriculture commissioner.
The sad truth is that we probably shouldn't run a Black man as the GOP candidate in a southern state like Kentucky.
Ohio: Dems have won yet another abortion referendum in a red state. GOP needs to stop fucking having these referendums. Clear that abortion is sadly popular nationwide. Abortion is clearly a losing issue for Republicans.
Virginia Legislature: The Dems have kept the State Senate denying Governor Youngkin and the Republicans a tri-fecta.
Pretty terrible night for Republicans all around.
If it means anything to you, the same thing happened here in Kansas in 2022. Because people didnt like the Republican option for governor, but they did like the down-ticket Republicans or at the very least just did the rest of the ticket as R. So its not as unusual as you think. And ironically, it results in said Dem governors hands being tied on a lot of the stupidest things because the rest of her cabinet is calling her an idiot.
