Chip in today to elect Dem govs >>
Democratic governors are leading in the fight against Donald Trump. With our two historic victories in Virginia and New Jersey, grassroots momentum is on our side! But next year, nearly 80% of the country is voting for a governor – and with Republicans already investing to beat Dem govs, early support has never been so critical. Will you donate to elect more Democratic governors who will defend our rights and freedoms and stand up to Trump?
AWK-WARD: Bevin Endorses Carson, 3 Days Before Joint Event with Paul
AWK-WARD: Bevin Endorses Carson, 3 Days Before Joint Event with Paul
At Ky. gov. debate, Bevin spurns Rand to endorse another GOP presidential candidate
Well, this is going to be awkward.
Just three days before Senator Rand Paul is going to hold an event for Matt Bevin’s embattled gubernatorial campaign, Bevin announced at a debate this morning that he has endorsed Ben Carson for president over Paul.
In other words, Rand Paul isn’t even Matt Bevin’s favorite doctor in the race for president.

“Today, Senator Paul learned what too many Kentuckians already know: You can’t trust Matt Bevin,” said DGA spokesman Jared Leopold. “Matt Bevin’s campaign is getting increasingly lonely, as it suffers under the weight of his record of lies and tax delinquencies. It’s no surprise that Matt Bevin continues to isolate himself as his true record emerges.”
Bevin’s rejection of Paul comes on the heels of the Republican Governors Association going dark in Kentucky — one of several feuds Bevin has had with party leaders in Washington and Kentucky.
“Of those still in the race right now, I like Ben Carson,” Bevin said during the debate today. “He’s not taking shots at people. He’s intelligent. He’s articulate. He’s respected.”
