Kentucky GOP Gov Candidate Touts Trump Endorsement After Trouncing DeSantis-Backed Challenger

Kentucky’s Republican Attorney General Daniel Cameron, praised former President Donald Trump and touted his endorsement after winning the gubernatorial GOP primary Tuesday evening, besting Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ endorsed candidate by a massive margin.

The attorney general overwhelmingly won the Republican nomination with 47.7% of the vote, and will challenge Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear in November. Cameron beat the DeSantis-backed candidate, and former Trump administration official, Kelly Craft by roughly 30 points, prompting the GOP nominee to take a jab at the Florida governor after his big win.

“A big thank you to President Donald J. Trump for his support and his endorsement of this campaign,” Cameron said in his victory speech. “Let me just say, the Trump culture of winning is alive and well in Kentucky!”

Craft, who served in the Trump administration for four years as the U.S. Ambassador to Canada and the U.N. Ambassador after Nikki Haley’s departure, received a last-minute endorsement from DeSantis ahead of Tuesday’s primary.

“I’m strongly encouraging you to go out and vote for my friend, Kelly Craft. Kelly shares the same vision we do in Florida. She will stand up to the left as they try to indoctrinate our children with their woke ideology,” DeSantis said in a video.
