Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear Re-Elected in Kentucky, and Democrats Have Big Night in Virginia
Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear won re-election in Kentucky, beating back a strong challenge from his Republican opponent in a deeply conservative state-despite efforts by the GOP to yoke him to President Biden's sagging approval ratings.
Meanwhile in Virginia, the Democratic Party's abortion-rights message fueled victories that gave it full control of the legislature in Richmond. Together with Beshear's victory, which showed Democrats can find strength in Trump country, the results gave the country an early read on the electorate's mood heading into the 2024 presidential campaign.
Ohio Voters Enshrine Abortion Access in State Constitution
Ohio voters decided Tuesday to put abortion rights in the Midwestern state's constitution, one of several states where the issue resonated with voters and showed its potential to help Democrats next year.
The Ohio vote was another key test of where voters stand on one of the most consequential issues heading into next year's presidential election. The abortion debate also played into Tuesday victories for Democrats, who held their majority in the Virginia Senate and wrestled the majority from Republicans in the state's House of Delegates. Also, Democrat Andy Beshear won another term as governor of Kentucky, where he criticized abortion restrictions passed by the legislature.
Abortion Rights Supporters Rack Up Victories, Putting GOP in Bind for 2024
They were disparate elections in different states-for governor, state Senate, a supreme court seat and on a constitutional amendment. But the results of off-year races on Tuesday pointed in one direction: Voters will come to the polls to defend abortion rights.
In the Republican strongholds of Ohio and Kentucky, as well as politically purple Virginia and Pennsylvania, abortion-rights supporters spent millions of dollars to tell voters that GOP lawmakers couldn't be trusted to set state abortion policy after the Supreme Court last year eliminated a right to the procedure under the U.S. Constitution.
