Trump’s choice for KY Governor wins over DeSantis’s pick.

Former President Trump’s Endorsement Leads to Cameron’s Victory in Kentucky GOP Primary

Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron emerged victorious in the Republican primary for governor on Tuesday, receiving an endorsement from former President Donald Trump. Cameron’s win was seen as a proxy victory for Trump over Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who had endorsed United Nations Ambassador Kelly Craft. Cameron’s win is historic, as he is the first major-party Black nominee for governor in the state’s history.

Building Unity for the Fall Campaign

Cameron’s win is seen as a step towards building unity within the Republican party for the fall campaign. In his victory speech, Cameron emphasized the importance of values and encouraged those who look like him to believe that they can achieve anything. He will face incumbent Democratic Governor Andy Beshear in the general election in November.

Insights into the 2024 Presidential Race

The Kentucky governor’s race is expected to be closely watched, as it could provide insights into the 2024 presidential race. With Cameron’s announcement, Beshear faces a tough task with his re-election bid in the Republican-dominated state. Trump took to social media to congratulate Cameron on his victory, stating that he had his complete and total endorsement.

Rivalry with Kelly Craft

Cameron’s victory was not without its challenges, as he faced a tough advertising campaign from Kelly Craft’s team, which was backed by her family’s fortune. The campaign painted Cameron as an “establishment teddy bear” and claimed he was not tough enough as an attorney general. However, Cameron persevered and was able to claim victory over Craft and other candidates.
