FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — Kentucky gubernatorial hopeful Ryan Quarles is doubling down on his grassroots Republican strategy.

The thunderbolt announcement came 11 months before the state’s primary. GOP voters will select a nominee to challenge Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear. Trump’s endorsement is seen as a boost for Cameron. The first-term attorney general is seeking support from a Republican base viewed as still loyal to the ex-president.
