The upcoming Kentucky gubernatorial election is a tight race between incumbent Democratic Governor Andy Beshear and Republican Attorney General Daniel Cameron. Recent polls have put the two candidates in a dead heat, with Beshear's approval ratings being bolstered by his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the number of former President Donald Trump's supporters who plan to vote for Cameron has increased significantly, making the outcome of the election uncertain. The race will be a key indicator of the national political environment ahead of the 2024 election.
