Earlier on Tuesday we covered how Gov. Andy Beshear (D-KY) expressed a desire for a family member of Sen. JD Vance (R-OH), the running mate for former and potentially future President Donald Trump, to get raped and become pregnant as a result. He made such comments during "Morning Joe," and was then asked again on Tuesday by Andrea Mitchell, during which he continued to attack Vance. "Make him go through this," Beshear had insisted to "Morning Joe" co-host Mika Brzezinski as he ranted against pro-life laws at the state level. The governor made such a declaration about Vance and his...

Democrats always find creative ways to sink to new lows when it comes to rhetoric, and Democrat Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear went straight to the depths of Hell this morning to make a disturbing statement about Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH) and his family. As The Gateway Pundit reported, Day One at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago was a total catastrophe with pro-Hamas protesters breaking through barriers, several speakers screaming like banshees, and Joe Biden melting down on stage as expected. Beshear gave a speech on Monday evening piling on this disaster by celebrating abortion on demand. He equated the...

Sen. J.D. Vance took to X to slam Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear on Tuesday morning, alleging that the governor wished “a member of my family would get raped.” Vance previously called pregnancy from rape “inconvenient,” and Beshear recounted Vance’s comments during his appearance on MSNBC’s Morning Joe. “J.D. Vance calls pregnancy from rape ‘inconvenient,’ like inconvenience is traffic. Make him go through this,” said Beshear. He also spoke in reference to Democratic National Convention speaker Hadley Duvall, who was raped by her stepfather at 12-years-old and became pregnant. “J.D. Vance calls pregnancy from rape ‘inconvenient,’ like inconvenience is traffic. Make...

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear (D) defended Vice President Harris’s newly unveiled economic agenda, saying it will help ensure the economy is working properly. “I do because I’ve been an attorney general, just like the Vice President, I pursued price gouging statutes and their violations when it comes to the price of gas in Kentucky, and we won and ultimately returned millions of dollars to our people. This isn’t about trying to price fix. It’s just making sure that the economy is operating the way it should, that this is really supply and demand, which we all respect,” he said on...

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro (D), who previously served as that state's Attorney General, is reportedly on Kamala Harris's shortlist for her running mate. Shapiro would seem to bring some significant things to the table: executive experience, popularity in a key swing state, and support from unions. But progressive groups are nevertheless warning Harris away from Shapiro. One letter signed by nearly 50 progressive leaders pointed to Shapiro’s “shortcomings as a national candidate” and urged the vice president to consider Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear (D) and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) instead. “With the compressed timeline ahead of us to defeat...

Democrat Governor of Kentucky Andy Beshear has received additional security detail protection. According to a report by CBS News, Gov. Beshear is one of a dozen people being vetted by the Harris campaign as a possible VP pick for Harris. Brown wrote in a post on X, “My source in Kentucky informs me that Governor Andy Beshear has gotten additional security detail protection.” Brown further reported that Beshear posted a cryptic Facebook post last week reading, “No matter where he goes, Kentucky will always be in his heart.”

Beshear appeared on MSNBC's Morning Joe Monday morning and used his endorsement of Harris to criticize Vance. "Let me just tell you; JD Vance ain't from here," Beshear said. "The nerve that he has to call the people of Kentucky, of eastern Kentucky, 'lazy.' These are the hardworking coal miners that powered the industrial revolution, that created the strongest middle class the world has ever seen. They powered us through two world wars. We should be thanking them, not calling them lazy. So today was an opportunity to support the vice president, but also to stand up for my people....

President Biden’s campaign is intensely trying to quell speculation that he may drop out of the 2024 race following his lackluster debate performance last week. Most top Democrats have voiced support for Biden continuing in the race, while members of his family, including first lady Jill Biden, have declared they also want him to remain a candidate, casting doubt on the potential for replacing Biden. But if Biden were to step aside, several prominent Democrats could be waiting in the wings as possible successors. Here are the top possible Biden replacements: Kamala Harris Gavin Newsom Gretchen Whitmer Pete Buttigieg Josh...

new report suggests that presidential debate affected director Rob Reiner and actress Jane Fonda so immensely that the latter was reduced to tears while the former screamed at the TV. According to CNN, people in attendance at the Hollywood debate watch party this past Thursday said that Reiner and Fonda were emotionally swept up in seeing President Joe Biden perform poorly against former President Trump. A debate watch party in Los Angeles on Thursday night happened to feature Harris’ husband Doug Emhoff, Pritzker, Whitmer and Beshear. There were other high-profile attendees – by a few answers in, Rob Reiner was...

“Nobody” should go to jail for “smoking weed,” Vice President Kamala Harris said Friday, despite having prosecuted nearly 2,000 cases of marijuana possession, cultivation, or sale as California’s attorney general. Harris’s public flip-flop is likely due to the politics of a difficult reelection campaign in which the Biden-Harris ticket is losing to former President Donald Trump in 75 percent of 2024 swing states, polling shows. Harris condemned prosecuting those who smoke flowers while speaking at a roundtable event about cannabis reform with musician Fat Joe and Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear (D).

Governor Andy Beshear (D-KY) said Wednesday on CNN’s “News Central” that Republicans anti-trans political ads were an example of “anger politics.” Anchor Jake Tapper said, “You said this PAC is about supporting candidates who push back against the national trend of anger politics and division, and I wonder how you define, anger politics and division.”

Tonight, President Trump will join me for a GOTV Tele-Rally to directly ask the working men and women of Kentucky to support this historic campaign. Join us tonight by dialing in at 9 PM ET / 8 PM CT! #TeamCameron

A new Emerson College poll out on Friday shows Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear and Attorney General Daniel Cameron in a dead heat less than a week before the Kentucky gubernatorial election — both polling at 47%. The results are a shift for Beshear, who has had a significant lead in almost all polling leading up to the election. Earlier in October, he was polling at 49% in the same poll as Cameron sat at 33%, and 13% of respondents would rather vote for someone else.

Many of the criminals who Democratic Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear released under executive commutation during the COVID-19 pandemic went on to commit new crimes, a report from the state’s government showed. The report examined the criminal records of the approximately 1,700 criminals that Beshear had released in April and August of 2020 to reduce the prison population during the pandemic. Of those released, roughly 70% went on to commit crimes, with 50% committing felonies within less than a year of their release. “I believe the last round of commutations was fairly successful at getting people back in society and making...

Black Voters Matter Action PAC claims Kentucky Attorney General and Republican nominee for governor Daniel Cameron is "a threat to the Black community." A far-left group being funded by liberal billionaire George Soros is targeting Kentucky Attorney General and gubernatorial candidate Daniel Cameron, a Black Republican, with an ad disparaging him as an Uncle Tom. Black Voters Matter Action PAC, which FEC filings show received millions from Soros' super-PAC, has been running the radio ad on a local R&B station based in Jeffersontown, Kentucky, describing Cameron as "Uncle Daniel Cameron," and accusing him of betraying his race by declaring "all...

Four more years of Democrat Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear would be a “disaster” for the state, former President Donald Trump said in a video first obtained by Breitbart News, in which he praises Republican Attorney General Daniel Cameron (R) days ahead of the gubernatorial race.“Daniel Cameron is a young star who has done a great job as your attorney general, always being fair, but very, very tough,” Trump said in the ad, touting Cameron as someone who is “strong, reliable and loves your state and our nation.”Watch video here:President Trump Endorsement“Daniel is a tremendous fighter on crime, lowering taxes, saving...

FRANKFORT, Ky. (KT) – Gov. Andy Beshear took to social media on Friday to respond to news reports that production at one of two electric vehicle (EV) battery plants planned for Hardin County has been delayed because of concerns about demand. The plants are being built by BlueOval SK, a joint venture between Ford Motor Co. and South Korean partner SK Innovation. “First, the full project is still on. Construction is continuing on both of those battery plants,” said Beshear in a video posted on social media. “The two biggest battery plants on planet Earth and all of the hundreds...

Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear and Republican Attorney General Daniel Cameron accused each other of taking extreme stands on abortion policy Monday night as they wrangled over an issue that's become a flashpoint in their hotly contested campaign for governor in Kentucky. During an hourlong debate at Northern Kentucky University in Highland Heights, Kentucky, the rivals fielded questions over education, taxes, public safety and the monthlong strike by autoworkers, which has spread to Ford's highly profitable Kentucky Truck Plant in Louisville. The candidates tried to one-up the other in their support for public education. Some of their sharpest exchanges during the...

All eyes are on Gov. Andy Beshear’s re-election bid against GOP challenger Attorney General Daniel Cameron. A lot of the state’s money is on it, too. Beshear’s campaign dwarfs Cameron’s in total cash brought in and on hand, the 60 day pre-general election reports show. The governor has brought in roughly $15 million into his general election campaign since the primary ended in mid-May compared to Cameron’s $2.8 million.

Gov. Andy Beshear's (D-KY) latest campaign ad attacked Republican candidate Daniel Cameron for opposing rape and incest exceptions to Kentucky's abortion bans seven weeks before the 2023 gubernatorial election. Beshear released a TV ad Wednesday featuring a young woman who is a survivor of sexual assault, stating she was raped by her stepfather at 12 years old after years of sexual abuse. The woman criticizes Cameron’s abortion stance, claiming he wouldn't give women and girls any options.
