About the 2019 governor elections

Kentucky, Louisiana and Mississippi elected governors in 2019, during Donald Trump's presidency and as the House impeachment inquiry got under way. Trump campaigned in all three states for the Republican candidates. In Kentucky, Democratic Attorney General Andy Beshear, son of former Governor Steve Beshear, defeated Governor Matt Bevin by about 0.4 points, roughly 5,000 votes. Bevin had clashed with teachers over pensions and was one of the least popular governors in the country. He conceded after a recanvass. In Louisiana, Democratic Governor John Bel Edwards won a second term by about three points over Republican businessman Eddie Rispone. In Mississippi, Republican Lieutenant Governor Tate Reeves beat Democratic Attorney General Jim Hood by about five points, the closest Mississippi governor race in years.
