In the Kentucky General Election, all eyes are on whether Democrats can secure more wins beyond Governor Andy Beshear's victories. Republicans have dominated statewide elections for the past decade, with only three Democratic wins during that time. Many in the GOP believe that regardless of Beshear's outcome, this could be the end of the state Democratic Party. Therefore, it is crucial to watch if any Democrat, not named Beshear, can secure a win. One of the races drawing attention is Republican Daniel Cameron's bid for Kentucky governor. Backed by Donald Trump, Cameron seeks to tie Beshear to President Joe Biden and has attacked him on various issues such as Covid-19 restrictions and transgender medical treatments for children. If Cameron wins, he will become Kentucky's first black governor. Another significant race is taking place in Ohio, where voters are deciding whether to enshrine abortion protections, which allow individuals to make and carry out their reproductive decisions, into the state constitution. This election serves as an indicator of the national mood ahead of the 2024 presidential election and provides insight into Democrats' strength in key states.
