In his victory speech tonight, Gov. Andy Beshear: “Kentucky made a choice… a choice of Jack Harlow over Sarah Huckabee Sanders.” @wlwt

Daniel Cameron, opening his concession speech: "Well, that didn’t turn out exactly how I wanted it to."

I’m gonna say I told ya so about @GovAndyBeshear. He’s got the heritage, chops and emblematic home state to be a major national voice. He’s a decent, thoughtful guy. NB: for the last half-century, the party that wins the KY governor’s race wins the White House the next year.

Democrat Andy Beshear wins in ruby-red Kentucky.

The right to choose is upheld by voters in GOP-owned Ohio.

Democrats win the Virginia Senate.

This is shaping up to be a GREAT night for Democrats! pic.twitter.com/DsaxHx4LNq

Andy Beshear gained in several, if not most, red counties over how he did four years ago. #Kentucky

Two Governor races in a row where Kentuckians have elected Dem Andy Beshear and then voted overwhelmingly straight-ticket Republican in the rest of the state races. Fascinating.

Daniel cameron is giving a concession speech and I am loving this.
Cry Daniel cry.
Cry Mackenzie cry.
Goodbye. Fade away and wait for the senator seat mitch mcconnell is refusing to give up#kygov

Pretty wild that all the down ballot races ended up pretty much 60:40 in favor of Republicans, but not this one. #kygov maybe the GOP will realize you can't just throw up anyone with a Trump endorsement and expect a dub. pic.twitter.com/dWsQsqkoRZ

That was a very gracious concesion from Cameron. We used to take those for granted.

But even in losing #KYGov tonight, I do not believe anyone has seen the last of Daniel Cameron in KY. It was an uphill race against Beshear. Federal races are very different beasts.

Democrat Andy Beshear wins re-election!

Kentucky's gubernatorial races have been a consistent bellwether for the presidential election the following year since 2003. https://t.co/nY25FidtYA https://t.co/g41HZ5JzBM
