Those KY Eastern Mountain counties only became Democrat with heavy unionization & FDR beginning in 1932. Many had been previously Republican in 1928 and back to the 19th century. That was the same story with neighboring WV, which had been heavily Republican from the 1890s until 1932.
The previous rat State Senator in that district was unopposed the last 3 times, including 2016 when Trump got over 80%!!! It was also a 58% Bevin district.
So while it’s great we won it, we had to, and it shouldn’t have been as close as it was.
Speaking of Bevin? What’s up? Bunzburger keeps tweeting about how’s he’s unpopular and almost drew a strong primary challenger.
