Haisten Willis is a White House reporter for the Washington Examiner. Before moving to D.C., Haisten was an Atlanta-based freelance journalist, writing for the Washington Post, Atlanta Journal-Constitution, and U.S. News & World Report, among other outlets. From 2020 to 2022, he was the national Freedom of Information Committee chairman at the Society of Professional Journalists.
All eyes may be on 2024, but 2023 is an important election year for some states, not least Kentucky. Top of the card is Gov. Andy Beshear and whether the Democratic incumbent can win again in a typically red state, possibly launching himself into the 2028 presidential conversation. This Washington Examiner series, Democracy Derby, will take a closer look at Beshear's prospects, the makeup of the Bluegrass State as a whole, and whether Sen. Mitch McConnell's health may raise the stakes.
"He's had a number of challenges, and he's handled them all beautifully," said Scott Jennings, a longtime adviser to McConnell."Mike has carved out a reputation as being probably the most effective secretary of state we've ever had." While Trump won Kentucky by 26 points in 2020, his stolen election complaints still reverberated in the Bluegrass State. Stephen Knipper, Adams's eventual primary opponent, went on a"restore election integrity" tour in 2021 before announcing his candidacy.
Adams has helped push through conservative priorities, such as requiring a photo ID to vote and purging the voter rolls of people who have died or moved out of state. His motto,"Easier to vote and harder to cheat," has been used by other Republicans such as Gov. Brian Kemp . Lastly, Adams has not embraced early and mail-in voting to the extent that some liberals would like.
