KY’s Republican nominee for governor does not want to talk about his Trump endorsement

Kentucky’s GOP gubernatorial nominee Daniel Cameron, who previously said he was still “honored” to have Donald Trump’s endorsement after the former president was found liable for sexual abuse and defamation, is seemingly trying to outrun the now-indicted Trump. On the campaign trail yesterday, Cameron didn’t bring up Trump once during his stump speech and only spat out DC GOP talking points when asked by a reporter about the former president being indicted.

Leading Louisiana gubernatorial candidate Jeff Landry, who receives a taxpayer-funded salary as the state’s attorney general, said, “I don’t like the minimum wage.”
