I’ve seen enough. Projection: Andy Beshear (D) has defeated Gov. Matt Bevin (R) in #KYGOV.

Trump’s approval rating is quite high in KY. The state is trending red even on the state level… And yet, here we are with Beshear more than holding his own. Bevin is a bad politician and Beshear is a good one… Candidates matter.
