Despite the two men\u200c dominating national\u2063 conversations, the focus in state races has shifted towards\u200c highlighting candidates&#8217; \u2062policies on education, public safety, and the economy &#8211; three \u200dkey areas that resonate with voters.<\/p>\n<p>According to the New York Times, out \u2062of nearly 150 ads broadcasted across \u2064the three contests, \u200donly one mentioned Trump, while three mentioned Biden. The\u200d majority of these ads prioritize showcasing the candidates&#8217; plans and proposals, rather than relying on\u200c the \u200cinfluence\u200c of the two prominent figures.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;The absence\u2062 of Trump\u200c from ads indicates that \u2062Republicans may be distancing themselves from his policies and endorsements to appeal to centrist \u200bGOP and independent \u200cvoters.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>One\u2064 notable exception is an\u2063 ad from Governor \u2063Andy Beshear&#8217;s \u200c(D-KY)\u2062 reelection campaign, where he commends his administration for following in Trump&#8217;s footsteps by releasing prison inmates early. Despite\u2064 Trump winning all three states by significant\u200b margins in the 2020 election, the\u200b lack of \u200chis presence in ads \u2063suggests that Republicans are seeking to \u2064broaden\u2063 their appeal beyond the former president&#8217;s base.<\/p>\n<p>Candidates running in the 2023 and 2024 races are keen to avoid a \u200brepeat \u2062of the midterm elections, where several\u200c Trump-endorsed candidates triumphed over their centrist primary opponents but ultimately lost to their Democratic challengers. Trump has \u200dalready endorsed Republican\u2064 Kentucky Attorney\u200b General Daniel Cameron and \u200bLouisiana\u200b Republican\u2064 candidate Jeff Landry for the 2023 races. However, he has not \u2064yet endorsed\u2062 Governor\u2064 Tate\u200b Reeves (R-MS) for the 2023 election, indicating a potential shift in strategy.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of\u200b focusing on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/anti-asian-violence-how-politicians-are-ignoring-data-to-divide-us-by-race\/\" title=\"Anti-Asian Violence: How Politicians Are Ignoring Data To Divide Us By Race\">national figures<\/a>, an analysis\u200b by media\u200d tracking firm AdImpact reveals\u2064 that \u2062<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/three-key-governor-races-avoid-biden-and-trump-in-ads-despite-endorsements\/\" title=\"Three crucial governor races ignore Biden and Trump in ads, despite their endorsements.\">attack advertisements highlighting local scandals<\/a> and\u200c controversies are the most\u200d prevalent in these three \u2062races.<\/p>\n<h3>Kentucky: Crime Takes Center Stage<\/h3>\n<p>In Kentucky, crime has emerged as the most advertised issue, with \u200d25% of ad spending in the state dedicated to addressing this concern in the past \u2064month, according to AdImpact. The School Freedom Fund released \u2062an ad in mid-August \u2064targeting Governor Beshear&#8217;s crime policies, specifically criticizing his commutation of 646 inmates&#8217; sentences \u200bin 2020. This ad was part of a $2.9 million ad buy in the Lexington and Louisville markets.<\/p>\n<p>Public safety is \u200ca consistent talking point for Attorney General Daniel Cameron&#8217;s \u200dcampaign. He positions himself as &#8220;THE\u2062 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/daniel-cameron-wins-gop-kentucky-gubernatorial-primary\/\" title=\"Daniel Cameron wins GOP Kentucky gubernatorial primary\">law enforcement candidate<\/a>&#8221; and \u2063proudly highlights \u200chis endorsement from the state&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/slap-in-the-face-chicago-cops-vote-no-confidence-in-mayor-lori-lightfoot-police-chief-david-brown\/\" title=\"\u2018Slap In The Face\u2019: Chicago Cops Vote \u2018No-Confidence\u2019 In Mayor Lori Lightfoot, Police Chief David Brown\">largest police union<\/a>. This endorsement\u2063 is particularly significant as the\u200d union had\u2064 previously endorsed \u2064Beshear in 2019. Cameron attributes the change in endorsement to the &#8220;havoc&#8221; caused by Beshear&#8217;s administration&#8217;s perceived lack of\u200c tough-on-crime\u2062 policies.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;I\u200b support tough prosecution, \u200ctough \u200bsentencing, and tough enforcement.\u200b Kentucky law\u2064 enforcement knows I have their \u200dback. And they have mine. I\u2019m Daniel Cameron.\u2063 We need a governor who backs the blue, and that\u2019s\u200d exactly the kind of \u2064governor I\u2019ll be,&#8221; Cameron declares in one of\u200d his ads.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3>Education Takes Center Stage in \u2064Kentucky and \u200cLouisiana<\/h3>\n<p>Education is a \u200dtop\u2062 priority for candidates in both Kentucky and Louisiana, with nearly \u20631 in 5 ad dollars \u2062spent over \u200dthe past 60 days focusing on \u200bthis \u200dissue, according to AdImpact&#8217;s analysis.<\/p>\n<p>A group affiliated with\u2064 the Republican \u2064Governors Association called Kentucky Values released an ad stating, &#8220;The radical Left has declared war on parents, and\u200b Andy Beshear is with \u2063them.&#8221; On \u200bthe other hand, Beshear praises\u2062 teachers as\u2064 &#8220;heroes&#8221;\u200d in one of\u2063 his ads,\u2063 promising to \u2063raise\u200d their pay and expand universal preschool. He also accuses Cameron \u200bof supporting voucher \u200cprograms that divert tax dollars to private schools\u200c and wanting to cut pensions promised to Kentucky teachers.<\/p>\n<p>In Mississippi, Governor \u2062Tate Reeves \u2062ran an ad highlighting his \u2064success in\u200c swiftly\u200b reopening schools during the coronavirus pandemic. Meanwhile, Jeff Landry released \u2062an \u2063ad criticizing the &#8220;woke&#8221; agenda in schools and pledging to prioritize a return\u200c to basics\u2062 in education.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Parents, not politicians, deserve \u200bcontrol.
