Kentuckian here. Every single down-ballot race was won by a Republican. Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State, all that shit. These people weren't responding to his message, or protecting women's rights. The Republican candidate was a Black man. And Kentucky fascists are extremely racist. So they voted for the white guy, or not at all. It's really not that complicated.
Gotta be a registered Dem to vote in the Dem primaries here. Andy is very popular among the thinking population of the state, so I don't think he had a chance of getting primaried.
