Beshear: Democrats will 'have strong candidates' in rural states
Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear (D) said Sunday that Democrats “will have strong candidates” in governor’s races in rural states led by Republicans.
“Your name frequently comes up as a contender for the 2028 Democratic primary for president. You said, ‘I’ll think about it after next year.’ What will make you decide that that’s going to be a yes, you’ll run for president?” CNN’s Dana Bash asked Beshear on “State of the Union.”
“So, my primary obligation and what I’m putting all my energy towards is to be the best governor of Kentucky that I can be,” the Bluegrass State governor responded.
“Next year, I’ll also be the head of the Democratic Governors Association. And I think, especially in these rural states where Republican governors have not spoken up whatsoever to stop this devastating bill, we’re going to have strong candidates,” he added, talking about President Trump’s “big, beautiful bill.”
