12 Republican candidates here, 12 Republican candidates combined for the other 5 statewide offices

Matt Bevin apparently gave a speech at the Capitol today and drove off without filing for anything

I know the API will soon be going away - if it does - the tweet graph on media spending in the Gov race shows $7.37M has been spent with over half $3.82M being spent by the Kelly Craft campaign. The Daniel Cameron campaign has spend $434.72k PACs spending most of the rest.

Proxy war between: DeSantis and Trump going on right now.

The Fixer: Proxy war between: DeSantis and Trump going on right now.

The media / blogosphere / election twitter will no doubt play up that angle, but I would absolutely recommend ignoring all of that for reasons including:

1. There isn't one single true Trump candidate in this race. Cameron has Trump's endorsement, but he is way downplaying it, and has quite a bit of establishment support. He is not running a Trump style campaign. Deters is really the "Trump" style candidate in this race and is going to get most of the hard core Trump voters. Deters will overperform as a result. Especially in Northern KY.

2. The DeSantis vote is split between Craft and Quarles. I think she will do well in the Jefferson County country club vote, but is going to get decimated in most of the rest of the state. Every DeSantis person I know is either supporting Quarles or Cameron.

If Cameron wins this, Trump will no doubt take credit and his supporters will eat it up, but that is disconnected from reality.

St Representative Danny Bentley endorsed Cameron and Quarles?

Jewish conservative: St Representative Danny Bentley endorsed Cameron and Quarles?

Looks like it. Both are listing him as an endorser. Certainly wouldn't be the first time someone endorsed more than 1 candidate and won't be the last.

I don't like it though. Pick a side.

It's either the KY Gov primary, or the Lakers game

WSNJ: It's either the KY Gov primary, or the Lakers game

Results from KY should be known prior to Laker game. At least most of them.

AP has called everything of note in KY at 7:15 PM EDT. Still got more than an hour before tip-off.

Kelly Craft did terrible was thinking it was more like 25% of the vote and not 15% of the vote.

You’d think with a democrat President Cameron should win the general election. But if the modern GOP has taught us anything it’s that they suck at winning winnable races.

Well at the very least the Republicans have the best possible candidate, in Cameron, to win the General against one of the more popular Governors in America now.

Craft or Quarles would not have beaten Beshear.

Well Cameron is more popular than Beshear, so could get tighter, but do not see a Governor Cameron.

Tough but not impossible for Cameron to win. But essentially agree with you Fixer.
