Kentucky governor's race too close to call

In one of Tuesday night’s most watched governor’s races, Kentucky Attorney General Andy Beshear held a narrow lead over incumbent Matt Bevin.

The race remained too close to call late Tuesday. With 99% of precincts reporting as of 10:30 p.m., Beshear had 709,697 votes to Bevin's 703,899.

Bevin refused to concede the race, which was held the day after President Donald Trump came Kentucky to rally for Bevin.

In Virginia, Democrats used increasing suburban support to flip control of the state Senate and state House and gain outright control of state government in a presidential battleground.

Beshear gained considerable ground on Bevin in suburban Kentucky counties that had helped propel the Republican to office four years ago.

Other statewide GOP candidates in Kentucky won by comfortable margins.
