Clues On Voter Sentiment Could Emerge In Primary

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Off-year elections Tuesday in Kentucky and Pennsylvania could send early signals about the mood of voters ahead of next year’s races for the White House and Congress. Kentucky chooses party nominees for governor and secretary of state. Pennsylvania voters take up special legislative contests, a crowded Philadelphia mayor’s race and primaries for a state Supreme Court seat. The Kentucky governor’s race is a table-setter for what should be a bruising general election contest. Republican voters will settle on a nominee to challenge incumbent Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear. Two candidates with ties to ex-President Donald Trump are contenders in a 12-candidate field.
