<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kentucky" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kentucky</a> Governor Andy Beshear, a Democrat, won a second four-year term in the election on Tuesday in the red state.</p>
<p>With 87% of votes counted, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/11/07/us/elections/results-kentucky-governor.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">data showed</a> Beshear with 654,537 votes and 52.5% support, beating out Republican candidate Daniel Cameron, who had 592,884 votes and 47.5% support.</p>
<p>The numbers were sufficient enough for the Associated Press and others to call the contest in Beshear&#8217;s favor and for Cameron to concede the race.</p>
<p>Cameron, the state&#8217;s attorney general, said in his concession speech that he called the governor to congratulate him and encouraged supporters to pray for the winner.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">“I ask that you pray for Gov. Beshear … What ultimately matters is that we know that Christ is on the throne.”</p>
<p>— Republican Daniel Cameron in his concession speech to Andy Beshear (D) in the Kentucky governor&#39;s race <a href="https://t.co/e3JhuPq6E8">pic.twitter.com/e3JhuPq6E8</a></p>

<p>&#8220;I know from his perspective and from all of our perspectives that we all want the same thing for our future generations: a better commonwealth, one in which it can ultimately be a shining city on a hill — a model and example for the rest of the nation to follow,&#8221; Cameron said.</p>
<p>Beshear ran a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/dem-kentucky-gov-focuses-on-abortion-as-2023-race-heats-up-gop-opponent-calls-strategy-desperate" target="_blank" rel="noopener">staunchly pro-abortion campaign</a> in a state where voters last year <a href="https://www.npr.org/2022/11/09/1134835022/kentucky-abortion-amendment-midterms-results" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rejected</a> a constitutional amendment to enshrine Kentucky&#8217;s near-total ban after the Supreme Court overturned <em>Roe v. Wade</em> while Cameron set his focus on issues related to crime and radical gender theory.</p>
<p>Race <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/epitome-of-racism-tim-scott-blasts-despicable-racist-attack-on-kentuckys-daniel-cameron" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shook up the contest</a> with ads from a liberal Super PAC funded by billionaire George Soros suggesting that Cameron, who is black, is an &#8220;Uncle Tom.&#8221;</p>

<p>Former President Donald Trump, who won Kentucky by double-digits in the 2020 election, endorsed Cameron, but polling <a href="https://www.kentucky.com/news/politics-government/article281207713.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">indicated</a> that Beshear was popular even among Trump voters.</p>
<p>&#8220;Tonight, our Commonwealth rejected anger politics and proved there is more that unites us than can ever divide us,&#8221; Beshear <a href="https://twitter.com/AndyBeshearKY/status/1722087227428118744" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a post to X on Tuesday celebrating his victory.</p>
<p>But in his victory speech, Beshear took political shots, including at Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who <a href="https://www.lex18.com/news/kentucky-votes/cameron-rounds-out-campaign-with-arkansas-gov-sarah-huckabee-sanders" target="_blank" rel="noopener">joined</a> with Cameron on the campaign trail in the final stretch.</p>
<p>“Tonight, Kentucky made a choice &#8230; of Jack Harlow over Sarah Huckabee Sanders,&#8221; he <a href="https://twitter.com/Acyn/status/1722079952432934920" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>, referring to the Louisville native rapper who appeared <a href="https://twitter.com/WLKYMark/status/1720096053637386494" target="_blank" rel="noopener">with Beshear</a> at a rally last week. Beshear also <a href="https://twitter.com/Acyn/status/1722079952432934920" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bragged</a> of his success against other GOP officials and conservative groups who opposed him.</p>
<p>President Joe Biden, who may face Trump next year in a 2020 rematch, spoke with Beshear to congratulate him on winning re-election, according to the White House.</p>
<p>Republicans fared better in other state-wide contests, with the GOP candidate handily winning in the Kentucky <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/11/07/us/elections/results-kentucky-attorney-general.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">attorney general race</a> and in the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/11/07/us/elections/results-kentucky-secretary-of-state.html#:~:text=Michael%20Adams%2C%20Republican%2C%20wins%20the,of%20state%20race%20in%20Kentucky." target="_blank" rel="noopener">secretary of state</a> race.</p>
