Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Republicans would still vote for him even if he admitted it.
Wow, Kentucky racists accidentally did something good for once. Everyone gets a much better governor for the next 4 years because a bunch of hicks couldn’t bring themselves to vote for a black man.
A win is a win, I guess.
Kentuckians overwhelmingly choose democratic governors.
I mean..
This is Kentucky. Not Vermont or Oregon..
This should tell you some things..
It means republicans are going to completely give up on democracy.
Qult45 has already given up on democracy and the US Constitution.
In their words and their actions, many many times now.
Coup 2: Electric Boogaloos, comming soon to a town near you.
They kind of already have.
This implies that they ever cared about it in the first place
For one, it shows that the centrist line about progressives not being able to win in red states is self-serving hogwash.
we need to leave it to the states, they said. vote for us and we’ll overturn Roe, they said.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Andy Beshear received attention and praise from voters for his leadership through the COVID-19 pandemic, deadly tornadoes, record flooding and ice storms.
Beshear, who won the governor's race in 2019, made increasing abortion access a focal point of his campaign, an unexpected move for a Democrat in the socially conservative state.
Last year, Kentuckians rejected adding language to the state constitution that would make it harder to challenge abortion restrictions.
Beshear specifically focused on adding exceptions for rape and incest to Kentucky's law, which currently only allows abortion if the mother is at immediate risk of death or permanent injury.
Jaime Harrison, who chairs the DNC, called the election result a "major blow to the MAGA agenda and awful news to Republicans running in 2024."
"As we've seen time and again following the overturning of Roe v. Wade – no matter how red the state – voters across the political spectrum oppose GOP attempts to rip away their freedom," he said in a statement.
The original article contains 533 words, the summary contains 164 words. Saved 69%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

nice
Our man, Beshear.
