'Stop the Steal' organizer questions popular Democratic governor's re-election

One of the leading organizers of the "Stop the Steal" rally in Washington, D.C., questioned Kentucky's election results after a Democratic governor won re-election.

Gov. Andy Beshear won a second term Tuesday over Republican Attorney General Daniel Cameron in a state that Donald Trump won by 26 points in 2020, and Women for Trump head Amy Kremer didn't understand how that could be possible, especially since GOP candidates won in down-ballot races.

"I’ve heard a couple of different reasons for such a difference in the vote count for Governor, [secretary of state and attorney general]," Kremer posted on X. "They re-elected their Democrat Governor because he was an incumbent [and] candidates matter. It’s not an anti-incumbent year but I’m not buying any of that… Something is off here. Maybe 10 yrs ago, those explanations would be more believable But not in today’s world."

Beshear is one of the most popular governors in the U.S., at 60 percent approval, which is the highest for any Democratic governor in a red state and enjoys 41 percent approval among Trump voters – which is tied with Hawaii's Democratic Gov. Josh Green for the highest.

"There is no way this many Republicans voted for a Democrat governor," Kremer said. "It’s not plausible. On the other hand, there is no way that Democrats voted for a Dem governor and voted for a Republican SOS &/or a Republican AG or that they voted for the re-election of the Gov but didn’t vote for SOS or AG. The SOS controls elections & the AG is the top law enforcement officer in the state And Democrats left these blank?!?"

"Come on now…I was born in the morning, but not this morning," she added.

Beshear, whose father Steve Beshear was also a popular Kentucky governor from 2007 to 2015, helped attract major investment projects to the state, which currently has one of its highest budget surpluses ever, and voters have praised his leadership in several crises to hit the state – including the Covid-19 pandemic, major flooding and tornadoes, and a Louisville mass shooting that left one of his closest friends dead.

"I can’t make this make sense, but I’m not buying what they are selling," Kremer said. "If I lived in KY, I’d be looking at every down ballot race and asking for audits in every county, especially where totals are close. If it is legit, then the powers that be should have no problem with shining sunlight on the results."
