7. Isn't there a new democratic governor in KY now?

He beat the incumbent Republican in a squeaker of a win, if memory serves me right. You gotta give the guy time to perform. I believe his state legislature is still Repub in both houses. His only weapon might be executive orders like it was for our governor, Jay Inslee, who had to resort to issuing them in order to budge the logjam and get anything done for our state during his first term.

PBS did the right thing comparing governors in two red states, rather than resorting to a sensational hyperbole, like comparing the governor of Florida or Texas with the governor of Washington or California. That would come across as wildly partisan and as fake news by Red Staters. This approach was more balanced, in my opinion.
