Attorney General Andy Beshear wins Democratic nomination for governor in Kentucky, setting up showdown with his political nemesis - GOP incumbent Matt Bevin.

Attorney General Andy Beshear has won the Democratic nomination for governor in Kentucky, setting up a showdown with his political nemesis — Republican incumbent Matt Bevin.

Even during the primary campaign, Beshear aimed most of his criticism at Bevin. The two have waged a series of legal battles in recent years as Beshear challenged some of Bevin’s executive actions and sued him on pension and education issues.Democrat Adam Edelen’s political comeback has come up short as the former state auditor has conceded in his run for the Democratic nomination for governor in Kentucky.

Edelen, who ran attack ads against rival Andy Beshear in the gubernatorial primary, described the primary squabbles as “family differences.” Edelen says Bevin and his “radical cohort” will bring Democrats together. The governor is an ally of President Donald Trump, who remains a popular political force in the state. The governor’s strong showing Tuesday gives him a boost heading into the fall campaign in a state that has trended overwhelmingly toward the GOP.

Voter Tom Priddy in Lawrenceburg cast his vote for Bevin on Tuesday morning. He says he appreciates that the governor is a strong Trump ally.

bgdailynews 'Political nemesis.' That's what they call it when you politicize the Attorney General's office because of your personal vendetta against another elected official.

This governor should be investigated for the amount of Russian money that will be pumped into his campaign? Oh, the Russian mob is building a aluminum plant in Eastern Kentucky. Ok....is this true
