.MaddowBlog: Kentucky delivers a wake-up call to Pres. Trump’s Republican Party.
Close video The Rachel Maddow Show, 11/5/19, 9:22 PM ET Democrat Beshear defeats Trump-backed Bevin for Kentucky governor Rachel Maddow reports breaking news that NBC News has called Democrat Andy Beshear the apparent winner of the Kentucky gubernatorial race, defeating Trump-backed Republican Matt Bevin.
For his part, the GOP governor hasn’t yet conceded the race, though there does not appear to be a realistic scenario in which he can overcome his current deficit against Gov.-elect Beshear . Indeed, Bevin effectively ran as a Trump surrogate in recent months, emphasizing the president constantly in his campaign ads and speeches, and even making the case that the impeachment inquiry against Trump was a key issue in Kentucky’s gubernatorial contest.
In some circles, it looked like a sensible strategy: the Washington Post ran an analysis five days before the election that said a “backlash” to the congressional impeachment inquiry “might get the Republican governor of Kentucky re-elected.”Many have already made the case that Bevin was a unique figure, displaying a special talent for alienating and offending those who interact with him, which makes it difficult to extrapolate from last night’s results.
