Andy Beshear is the fifth most popular governor in the country. 63% of Kentuckyans approve of the job that he's doing and 32% disapprove. Most political handicappers have this race as a toss-up. It's probably going to be the most competitive single race this fall.
On Tuesday, voters are heading to the polls in at least three competitive races: the Kentucky Republican gubernatorial primary, the Philadelphia Democratic mayoral primary and the Jacksonville mayoral election. In this installment of the podcast, Galen and Nathaniel preview the state of those three races. They also speak with YouGov's Linley Sanders about a new poll showing that Democrats broadly trust news outlets more than Republicans, including even some right-leaning news outlets. And they look at how the public is reacting to last week's scandals involving former President Donald Trump and New York Rep. George Santos.
