Jenean Hampton? Not sure. Republicans would probably attack her for voting for the libertarian candidate in 2019 instead of Bevin.

I mean rand Paul endorse Gary Johnson for senate. And is son of ron Paul

I read in a article post-November 2020 that one of the prominent Democrats in the KY state legislature lost his re-election, maybe it was the Boyle county area? Can’t remember for sure, but his constituent came up to him and said “it’s not that we don’t like you or we don’t like the work you’re doing, it’s just that you’re a Democrat” I wish I could find that article but I was shocked when I saw it, I had to to dig for it though.  
Ky voter registration has gone from nearly 50-40, Democratic advantage(2017) to 44.14-46.65 Democratic advantage (December  2020).
Let’s also note that Bevin almost become the first Republican in Kentucky history to win a Republican governorship for the second time, and he was insanely unpopular. Also, David Cameron is pretty popular too, but you don’t necessarily see that same sentiment in person do you? and friends I can definitely tell you, there’s something wrong with that Beshear approval rating, it’s decent but not high enough where he should sleep comfortable with the idea of winning a clear re-election. I would describe his approval rating as “apathetically high” meaning I doubt it’ll translate into votes, as time goes on, Democrats are going to have to have more than just a good approval rating too; the numbers are just getting too challenging for them to overcome.

About David Cameron, despite having approval ratings above 50%, there are two words that will be detrimental to his campaign, and those two words are...

Breonna Taylor

As I've mentioned before, Cameron was the attorney general at the time of Taylor's death, and that's a position he still has today. However, I also found out he is currently facing impeachment due to his response to Taylor's death, which may or may not hurt his chances with independents. It probably hurts him a lot more if the cops that killed Taylor are still free by the 2023 election, but the damage may have already been done to his campaign. Not to mention the heavy amount of attack ads towards him that would probably be paid for by activist groups like BLM. Those could end up being brutal to him and his campaign.

So yea, if it weren't for Breonna Taylor's death, he would probably have a decent chance at being elected governor. But unfortunately due to those events and his highly controversial response, he's DOA in my opinion, and would probably be an almost guaranteed victory for Beshear if Cameron's the republican nominee. Or maybe Cameron wins and the polls will show it to be much closer than it actually is.

I wonder if Elliott county will stay Democratic.

Elliott surprisingly stays democratic at the state level, and I think it voted for Beshear as well. I'd say Elliott votes for Beshear again unless republicans nominate a populist candidate.

kentucky is a red state also dem in white house
