DeSantis-Backed Candidates Lose in Jacksonville Mayor’s Race, Kentucky Governor’s RaceHannah Bleau 16 May 2023
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) endorsed former U.N. Ambassador Kelly Craft in the Republican gubernatorial primary race in Kentucky as part of what appeared to be a last-ditch effort to elevate her on the eve of primary day, to no avail. Rather, Trump-backed Daniel Cameron emerged victorious, while Republicans suffered a loss in DeSantis’s home state, with a Democrat candidate winning the mayoral election in Jacksonville, Florida.
Final polling showed Cameron leading the field in the GOP Kentucky primary race for governor. The latest Emerson College Polling/Fox 56 Lexington survey showed Cameron growing his lead, to 33 percent. Craft fell 15.4 percent behind with 17.6 percent support, followed by Ryan Quarles (13.2 percent), Eric Deters (9.7 percent), Mike Harmon (4.4 percent), and Alan Keck (3.1 percent). All others saw less than two percent support.
“Cameron has grown his support amongst women, from 29% in April to 36% in the current poll,” Spencer Kimball, Executive Director of Emerson College Polling said, noting that men shifted away from Craft by ten points. And indeed, Tuesday evening, Cameron emerged victorious.
