Governor Andy Beshear says Democrats should think less about partisan politics and more about meeting people’s needs.
Beshear touted the strategy for coming back from last month’s election losses in an interview with The Associated Press.
He has won three statewide elections in deeply red Kentucky and is often mentioned as a potential presidential contender in 2028. Beshear was in the running to be Kamala Harris’ running mate this summer but lost to Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.
He said the party should work on things like good-paying jobs, health care, schools, roads and public safety.
The governor is chair-elect of the Democratic Governors Association for 2026, when a majority of states will elect governors. He hopes to be “a reasonable, common-sense, common-ground voice” for the party.
