Let's begin with politics and the 6th District Congressional Race in Kentucky continuing to draw attention.

Democrat Zach Dembo faces Republican Ralph Alvarado for the seat that Andy Barr is leaving open as he runs for the Senate.

Let's look at some video of some of the latest ads from the candidates in that race.

Anyone who's been to a grocery store knows Kentuckians need lower prices, not tax hikes.

My plan puts real money back in your pocket.

Zach Dembo served his country in the Navy and put violent criminals behind bars at the Justice Department.

Ralph Alvarado? He served Matt Bevin as his running mate.

So the sixth, which is essentially Lexington and central Kentucky as far as a district, was carried by Donald Trump by 15 points in 2024.

But Andy Beshear carried it by 19 points in 2023.

So, Mario, this looks to be a battleground.

It sure is.

There's been a lot of attention on this race, especially as sentiment is shifting a little bit on Donald Trump and the president and kind of somewhere his approval rating stands.

So it's trickling down to the individual states, including in Kentucky.

And there's been a lot of investment on the financial side from outside groups.

We're seeing both candidates ramp up their social media presence and their ads on TV, but we're starting to see those PACs start weighing in as well.

The DCCC on behalf of the Democrats, they have invested in a congressional race for the 6th District since back in 2018 when Amy McGrath was on the ballot, but they are now zoning in to try to allocate resources to the 6th District race in favor of Zach Dimbo.

Andy Beshear's PAC is also very involved with donating or contributing money as well.

But there's a lot of attention on kind of where things stand and also those undecided voters in a general election.

I know we've talked about before, there's about 70,000 or so of those independent voters that could have a very big impact on the final results come

that first Tuesday in November.

You note that Governor Beshear has been investing through his PAC, and he seems to have a lot of interest in that, as if it could be a feather in his cap maybe going forward if Democrats were able to take that seat.

Absolutely, and he just days after Zach Dembo became the nominee for the seat on behalf of the Democrats, Andy Beshear was quick to do the official endorsement.

and doing a co-join appearance with Zach Dimbo.

And they've done a couple of different appearances over the course of this general election season.

And he was also quick to endorse Zach Dimbo very early for this race before he officially came out to say something for Charles Booker as well.
