Controversial governor Matt Bevin of Kentucky will gracefully leave Frankfort. |
Republican governor Matt Bevin has finally conceded. The governor refused to concede and demanded another canvasing to recount the tally of votes. The opponent, Attorney General Andy Beshear will become the next governor of Kentucky in January. The governor-elect is hoping to work with commonwealth Republicans to get an agenda done.
Once he gets into office, he will face a strong opposition from Republicans in the state house.
The controversial Matt Bevin had made enemies in his four years as governor of the commonwealth of Kentucky. Being a Trump supporting ally, Bevin had often used the same divisive rhetoric our dear leader used against his opponents.
Trailing by thousands of votes, Bevin knew that the results won't change.
Bevin believes that he will return in some form. I am guessing he's going to have a role in Trump's administration if the imbecile win reelection.
"We're going to have a change in governorship based on the vote of the people," Bevin said a presser.
Promising Kentuckians that "we won't let you down," Beshear said later in the day that he's ready to help build the "next chapter" of Kentucky's future.
Beshear focused on Kentucky issues and not the politics of Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Joe Biden and Beto O'Rourke.
Bevin wanted to tarnish the opponent as a Nancy Pelosi-supporting lunatic. Trump entered the race with his usual brand of hatred and divisiveness. He said that if you elected the Democrats, Kentucky will fall apart.

Right now, Trump just finished his Louisiana tally in hopes of helping the Republican candidate win against red state Democratic governor John Bel Edwards in a run-off election.
Bel Edwards is so far considered the likely winner but Trump's popularity in Cajun Country is strong.
The governor is conservative but does support Democrats about 80% of the time. The run-off is on Saturday. We will keep you informed on the developments in Louisiana.'
Good riddance to Matt Bevin.
Bevin, Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) and Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) have failed Kentucky. There's a huge bridge in Cincinnati that is considered unsafe. The Brent Spence Bridge which carries Interstate 75 (and 71) is a major connection between the Midwest and South.
The bridge has 140,000 vehicle travel each day. The bridge has been considered unsafe for years and it's past its life expectancy.
The bridge is extremely dangerous and sooner or later, it could collapse. The city of Cincinnati and Covington, Kentucky have urged Congress and governors Bevin and Mike DeWine to do something.
As with most Republicans, they claim the budget and cutting regulations in order to get the bridge replaced. Then of course, they want to make it a toll bridge and charge Americans traveling it.
