Sarah Huckabee Sanders praised Bevin for staking out strong stands despite taking "a lot of heat."
Sanders and conservative U.S. Rep. Mark Meadows appeared with Bevin at a campaign event Monday in Louisville.
Meadows said the president has "no better friend" than Bevin. The governor plays up his ties to Trump in trying to fend off a tough challenge from his Democratic opponent, Attorney General Andy Beshear.
Beshear's campaign on Monday released a new TV ad featuring longtime Democratic state Rep. Rocky Adkins, who lost to Beshear in the spring primary. Beshear is making a strong push in eastern Kentucky, where Adkins is from.
