Kentucky Democrats think they can beat unpopular Republican Gov. Matt Bevin. But they’re worried a long, tense and expensive primary could undermine their chances of flipping a prized red state.than any governor in the country, Bevin has the advantage of running a state that President Donald Trump won by 30 points in 2016, a GOP edge that has grown in recent years.

The few public polls of the primary have shown Beshear with around 40 to 50 percent support and double-digit leads in the Democratic primary. That has made him the main target for Adkins and Edelen — both vying for second place in different surveys — and their supporters.Sign Up A pro-Edelen super PAC last week pulled down an ad attacking Beshear over his handling of a sexual abuse case involving the Boy Scouts of America. The ad was the latest example of Edelen's campaign and his supporters trying to bring down Beshear by attacking his legal background and his campaign finance history, two nonpartisan issues that Republicans could pick up and run with in the general election.
