During Cameron’s appearance on Sirius XM’s Breitbart News Daily on Wednesday morning, guest host and Breitbart News Washington Bureau Chief Matthew Boyle said, assuming the presidential election is a rematch of 2020 — as polls have indicated — he suspects a Cameron victory in November would serve as a “shot in the arm” for former President Donald Trump going into 2024.
“I wholeheartedly agree with that, and that’s, again, why I made the statement about the Trump culture winning is alive and well,” Cameron, who had Trump’s endorsement in the primary, responded. “Look, we’ve got an opportunity in November to change direction — a course correction, if you will, here in Kentucky — that I think will bolster the efforts in 2024 to make sure that we return President Donald J. Trump to the White House. Again, it starts here, in ’23, and that’s why I want to encourage your listeners to get engaged, whether it’s time, talent, or treasure.”

Breitbart: Daniel Cameron - July 6, 2023
Cameron is set to square off with Gov. Andy Beshear (D-KY) in the general election this fall, one of three gubernatorial races around the country this year. Cameron told Breitbart News that “Beshear’s vision for Kentucky is completely inconsistent with the values of the men, women, and children of all 120 counties,” before pointing to a photo of Beshear with the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, an anti-Catholic drag queen group.
The group made headlines in May after the Los Angeles Dodgers Major League Baseball team invited it to “pride

“You know, there’s a lot to be talked about in terms of a compassionate governor, but Andy Beshear is not compassionate because there’s nothing compassionate about a governor that, when we needed it most, decided to shut down our churches,” he told Boyle. “There’s nothing compassionate about a governor who told big businesses that they could stay open and play by one set of rules but shut down a lot of small businesses. And there’s certainly nothing compassionate about a governor, again, who was willing to shut down our schools for nearly two years, and now we are dealing with the learning loss because of it.”
“And so we’re going to send a strong message in November here in Kentucky that we don’t want the far left controlling our state, and the way to stop that is to get rid of Andy Beshear as governor,” he added. “Look, I’ve been honored to be the Republican nominee of Kentucky, but my mission is very clear and very simple. It’s to win in November and restore conservative values to our leadership here in the state and to make sure that those values are reflected across our Commonwealth in our 120 counties.”
In 2020, Beshear eked a victory over then-Gov. Matt Bevin (R-KY) by just over 5,000 votes. Since then, registered Republicans in the Blue Grass State officially surpassed registered Democrats after decades of work. For reference, in 1984, registered Democrats more than doubled the number of registered Republicans at 1.3 million to 525,000, as the Republican Party of Kentucky noted last summer. What is more, the state has voted red in every presidential election this century.
Haven’t heard much about this race.
What are Cameron’s chances?
Momentum in a Staye he is going to win by 30 0r 40 points?
My thoughts exactly
NC and WI are the critical swing states if Trump can win in 2024.
“Momentum in a Staye he is going to win by 30 0r 40 points?”
Trump will win Kentucky easily but the next Republican presidential candidate to win that state by 30 points (40? LOL.) will be the first one. Trump came very close to a 30-point margin in 2016 (but not 2020) and Nixon did the same in ‘72.
Cameron *should* defeat the empty-suit Democrat this November — by closer to 3 points than 30 points — and while that would bode well for 2024 it really has nothing whatsoever to do with Trump’s chances or his margin, any more than a Democrat winning the gubernatorial race 4 years ago meant a damn thing as far as the 2020 elections.
Probably a toss-up. Trump won Kentucky about 60-40 but Kentucky has a bad history of electing Democrats as Governors. Only 2-3 Republicans elected in the last 100 years or so.
I'm 73 and when I was a kid, there was practically no such thing as an elected Republican for virtually any office. Now, the legislature is highly Republican but the habit to elect Democrat Governors remains.
62-36%. Only 2 counties voted for the Pedo, Jefferson & Fayette, with Fayette being the most moonbat. Cameron should win.
