President Trump to hold rally in Lexington on the eve of the Kentucky election

The night before polls open for the Kentucky general election, President Donald Trump will make a stop in Lexington.

The Trump campaign announced Friday that it will hold a "Keep America Great Rally" at Nov. 4 at 7 p.m. at Rupp Arena in Lexington.

The announcement confirms a report from POLITICO last week that speculated Trump would visit Kentucky before the election to throw support behind Gov. Matt Bevin.

Earlier this week, the president tweeted support for Bevin, saying the governor has "done a wonderful job" and has his "complete and total endorsement."

They should look to Louisville for guidance since Trump still owes about $9,000 for security costs and get those costs paid upfront.

as my northern neighbor, I don't see Kentucky in play at any level. It, like many states, vote party line. You may see some polling that shows tight races but Bevin will win by 6- 9 points. There is no real change in demographics or migration that will make Tennessee or Kentucky competitive in my lifetime.

Bevin will lose the Louisville metro area and lose it badly.The rest of the state might be a different story. Hopefully Beshear comes away with a big enough vote margin in Louisville and Lexington to carry the State especially if Bevin under performs in the rural parts of the State.
