Published on November 6, 2019, the Kentucky governor's race has drawn national attention due to its implications on the politics of impeachment.
Incumbent Governor Matt Bevin's unpopularity, particularly after blaming striking teachers for violence against children in April 2019, led him to shift his focus away from his own agenda and make the race a national test.
His Democratic challenger, Andrew G. Beshear, has claimed victory, but Bevin has not conceded. The results show a few thousand votes separating the candidates after all precincts reported.
As the nation waits for the outcome, the Kentucky governor's race has become a microcosm of the country's divided politics, with impeachment at the forefront of the discussion.
