Democrats saw a big win Tuesday with Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear projected to win reelection over Republican Daniel Cameron, the state's attorney general.
The race was called by NBC News for Beshear shortly before 9 p.m. Beshear was leading Cameron - considered a rising star of the GOP - by around 4 points.
The Kentucky race was one of two tests for Democrats in these off-year elections on whether they can win in deep red southern states.
The other race - in Mississippi - is pitting Republican incumbent Gov. Tate Reeves against Elvis Presley's second cousin, Brandon.
Additionally, the winner of the Kentucky governor's race has predicted which party will win the presidential race the following year for the past five election cycles.
