Attorney General Andrew Beshear (D) defeated Incumbent Governor Matt Bevin (R) in Kentucky. In the end, Matt Bevin (R) was not able to overcome his low approval ratings (consistently 1 of the 2 most unpopular governors), even in a R+15 state.
John Edwards (D)'s ability to win re-election in Louisiana (R+11) might make him a strong presidential candidate in 2024, however many of Edward's actions as governor that allowed him to win in Louisiana could make it impossible for Edward to compete in a national democratic primary.
