“This is our civic duty. Regardless of who you choose, we want to encourage every single Kentuckian to get out and vote,” Beshear said.

Democratic vice presidential candidate Governor Tim Walz arrives in Louisville

Kamala Harris's vice presidential candidate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, arrived in Louisville for a campaign stop on Wednesday, October 23, 2024

Despite a recent appearance by Walz in the commonwealth during his campaign, former President Donald Trump won in previous elections in Kentucky. Trump's vice presidential candidate JD Vance also appeared in Kentucky earlier this year.

According to The Courier Journal, Kentucky became the first state to call for Trump on Election Day four years ago, winning the state by more than 25 points in both 2016 and 2020.

Vice presidential candidates have visited Kentucky

Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz appeared in Louisville on Oct. 23 to speak at a campaign reception on behalf of the Harris Victory Fund as part of his campaign stop.

Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance appeared in Lexington in August for a fundraiser sponsored by the Trump 47 Committee. Kelly Craft, an ambassador for the event, told the Courier Journal before the event and during the Kentucky State Fair Ham Breakfast that Vance was her friend and she was excited to host him.

Some Kentuckians cast their ballots before Election Day with the option of early voting, including Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear.

Secretary of State Michael Adams said Oct. 23 on X, formerly Twitter, that 130,695 voters in Kentucky had requested absentee ballots before the deadline. The increase in mail-in ballots could be an indicator of high voter turnout in the 2024 general election, he said, since mail-in ballots typically make up about 2-4% of the total votes cast.

“For heaven’s sake, vote early,” Adams wrote.
