Who's in town?

[KG4EMJ]

Last night and today at mid-day both I'm hearing KSP doing a special detail in Lexington. Sounds like they are escorting a very important person around town, particularly on the north side of town around Newtown Pike. Anybody know who might be in town? I saw that the Vice President is in Kentucky, but all the news sources claim he's in the western part of Kentucky visiting Fort Campbell, so I doubt it's him in Lexington.

From CoPilot:
Here’s what I found about officials attending the Rally for the People in Lexington today:

✅ Confirmed Speakers/Elected Officials​

• Rep. George Brown (Kentucky House)
• Rep. Anne Donworth (Kentucky House)
• Sen. Reggie Thomas (Kentucky Senate)
• Councilmember Emma Curtis (Lexington-Fayette Urban County Council, District 4)
• Jay Phillips (President, Fayette County Young Democrats)
• SQ McQuinton (Local activist leader). [mobilize.us]

Context​

The rally is a peaceful protest focused on:

• Rights for women, LGBTQ+, immigrants, and racial justice
• Opposition to book bans and gun violence
• Climate change action. [mobilize.us]

No reports yet of Governor Andy Beshear or federal officials attending. This appears to be a state and local-level event.

Interesting. The way they were covering the area, shutting down interstates, checking vehicles, etc. you would have thought it was the President or the Pope.

Thanks for the response.

It was the vice president according to local news today. He was taking in the University of Kentucky basketball game.
