Democrat Andy Beshear calls for unity and a “smooth transition” after apparent defeat of incumbent Republican Gov. Matt Bevin in upset victory Tuesday night in Kentucky, but Bevin is declining to concede the tight race.
Beshear insisted that Bevin's refusal to concede would not affect his ability to govern."We are moving on with our transition today,” he said.
He also noted that the next governor would need to be sworn in by early December, and expressed hope that Bevin would come around. “I believe that Governor Bevin will help in that transition,” Beshear said. “I believe that he is going to do the right thing and make sure we are ready to go on Day One.”With 99 percent of precincts reporting, Beshear led Bevin by roughly 5,150 votes. UnderBevin, a deeply unpopular governor, campaigned with President Donald Trump leading up to the election.
that a Bevin loss would be viewed as Trump's having suffered “the greatest defeat in the history of the world” and urged supporters not to “let that happen to me!"“I’m not worried about what national pundits or national Democrats are saying,” he said. “We are going to start bringing Kentucky together by changing the tone. No more us versus them," he added, promising that he would pick Republicans and independents to serve in his Cabinet.
