Kentucky governor highlights national issues in campaign

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — In a state where the president’s popularity surpasses his own, Republican Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin is turning hot-button national issues into bluegrass state reelection themes as he appeals to Donald Trump’s base.
He repeatedly slams Democrats’ impeachment push against Trump.
By contrast, Bevin’s challenger, Democratic Attorney General Andy Beshear, has stuck to a state-based script, touting teachers’ raises and legalized casino gambling.
