United States US State & Territory Governorships Megathread

[49ersfootball]

Emerson College polling has KY State Attorney General Daniel Cameron (R) up double digits over former UN Ambassador Kelly Craft (R): 33% to 18%.
I should note former President Donald Trump has endorsed Cameron; FL Governor Ron DeSantis (R) endorsed Craft: we'll find out later this evening how this turns out.

Here's my predictions for the Governorships in MS, KY & LA:

*MS: GOP HOLD: Reeves will hold on here despite some chaotic moves during his tenure. Pressley is the most high-profile contender for the MS Dems because they last won the Governorship in 1999.

*KY: Likely DEM HOLD: I am doubling-down on Beshear winning reelection against KY State Attorney General Daniel Cameron (R); voter enthusiasm & Independents will decide this.

*LA (OPEN): GOP GAIN: LA State Attorney General Jeff Landry (R) is the overwhelming front-runner & favorite.

BREAKING NEWS: NH Governor Chris Sununu (R) announcing he's NOT seeking reelection to 5th 2-year term in 2024 ending weeks of speculation. It is assumed that former United States Senator Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) will be a potential favorite to replace him IF she's the GOP nominee for the Governorship.
