Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear Is Mulling 2028 WH Run

Politico reports:

Andy Beshear “would consider” running for president in 2028, he told a Louisville television station this week. The Kentucky governor is seen as a potential standout in what could become a crowded Democratic primary. His bona fides include winning statewide election three times in the ruby-red state. Beshear was also a finalist to serve as former Vice President Kamala Harris’ running mate in the 2024 election.

“If you’d asked me a couple years ago if this is something I’d consider, I probably wouldn’t have,” Beshear told WDRB on Thursday. “But I don’t want to leave a broken country to my kids. So if I’m somebody that can bring this nation together, hopefully find some common ground, it’s something I’ll consider.” In 2026, Beshear will serve as chair of the Democratic Governors Association, leading the party’s effort to win gubernatorial races during the midterm elections.
