On election night, all eyes were on the results, and President Joe Biden and his supporters had reason to celebrate as Governor Andy Beshear of Kentucky secured his re-election. Beshear, a Democrat, faced off against Republican Daniel Cameron, who campaigned vigorously on anti-abortion stances, his endorsement from former President Donald Trump, and his opposition to Biden's economic platform. While Beshear enjoyed a comfortable 16-point lead earlier in the fall, a final poll conducted between October 20 and November 2 showed Cameron with a 1-point advantage, surprising Democrats, especially in the wake of a poll suggesting a potential Trump White House comeback. Nonetheless, President Biden congratulated Beshear on his victory over the phone, and his senior aides were quick to interpret it as an endorsement of the president.
One senior White House press aide, Andrew Bates, took to Twitter to criticize Cameron's close association with Trump and his support for a statewide abortion ban. Bates pointed to a post by Cameron in which he had attacked "Bidenomics" and questioned how it had worked out for him. Former White House chief of staff Ron Klain also joined in, quoting Cameron's post and using sarcasm to question the effectiveness of the "Biden bashing" strategy.
