| Central Kentuckians are watching and reading a wave of national and local news coverage exposing Ralph Alvarado for who he really is: a two-faced politician willing to say anything to get elected.
Multiple outlets are reporting that Alvarado scrubbed his campaign website to remove pro-Trump messages and a photo of the two standing together. As costs rise, Washington corruption runs rampant, and polling shows a tied race in Kentucky’s 6th Congressional District, Alvarado is scrambling to cover his real record.
Watch and read what they’re saying about Alvarado’s website scrub for yourself:
“That is quite a chameleon evolution over a limited period of time”
READ:
Ralph Alvarado is running with Donald Trump’s endorsement in a House district Kentucky that the president carried by double digits in 2024. But since winning the Republican primary in May, he has removed a series of pro-Trump messages and a photo of them standing together from his campaign website, according to an NBC News review.
Alvarado’s refreshed website signals a serious shift as he finds himself in a neck-and-neck race with Democrat Zach Dembo, who is gaining more national attention as Democrats hope to flip the seat.
The Republican nominee in the race for Kentucky’s Sixth Congressional District has quietly rebranded his campaign.
Democrats say Alvarado’s shift in rhetoric shows that he’s “two-faced.”
Alvarado was eager to present himself as a Trump acolyte, right up until the president’s support started to reach embarrassing depths.
The DCCC circulated the NBC story to reporters Tuesday with a statement from spokesman Eli Cousin calling Alvarado “a two-faced, corrupt politician” and saying the website change “is just the latest sign that he is feeling the heat.” Dembo, a former federal prosecutor and Navy JAG officer, is endorsed by Beshear.
The change comes as Republicans face a challenging political climate heading into the midterms…
This week, Alvarado stripped mentions of the president’s agenda from his campaign materials, apparently deciding that being too tied to Trump would hinder rather than help his odds come November.
It comes as Trump remains deeply underwater across the country and a series of polls indicate voters prefer Democrats over Republicans ahead of this fall’s midterms.
