Gov. Bevin, Sen. McConnell cast Kentucky vote at RNC

CLEVELAND, Oh. (WTVQ) – Governor Matt Bevin and Senator Mitch McConnell were on-hand during last night’s roll call at the Republican National Convention.

Governor Bevin had this to say when it was time for Kentucky to cast its vote:

“Mr. Chairman.  The Commonwealth of Kentucky, home of Churchill Downs and American Pharaoh, the source of bluegrass music and the home of Bill Monroe, from the state where the largest Toyota plant in the world is located, the makers of the Ford F-150 and the Chevy Corvette, from the state that produces all the bourbon fit to drink in the world, from a state where our citizens still respect God and the Constitution and our military and our police officers, it is an honor to cast our vote: seven for Governor Kasich, seven for Governor Rubio, 15 for Senator Cruz, and 17 for the next president of the United States of America, Donald J. Trump.”

With the votes of Kentucky and other states, the Republican party voted last night to make Donald Trump its nominee for President of the United States.
