I’d disagree. Polling before the primary predicted a Bevin 20+ point primary win. Election night found 48% of his own party voting against him, an incumbent candidate in a state which rode a red wave in the 2016/2018 elections. And, the Republican primary turnout was abysmally poor (over 100,000 fewer Republican votes cast than Democratic votes) indicating many in his party preferred staying home over pulling the Bevin lever. Lastly, even with the red wave in the past couple elections, the Democrats still maintain a 49%-41% advantage in Kentucky voter registration. I’d think a combination of those things would be very concerning for Bevin after primary election night. He’s an extremely unpopular governor, even within his own party.
