Democratic Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear isn’t just saying he “would consider” running for president. He’s actively laying the tracks for a potential 2028 campaign.

Andy Beshear is making serious moves toward a 2028 presidential run
One Democratic operative who invited the Kentucky governor to headline a fundraiser in 2024 said major donors didn’t recognize him when he first arrived at the event.
May 7, 2025 14:46Will keep my eyes open for Gov Beshear in NH.
Gov Pritzker was here last week.
Hang in there 2028 has already begun.
I will support any candidate who vows to hold trump and the White GOP Christian Nationalists accountable for their crimes against the American Constitution.. The Jan 6th , 2021 coup should be a priority to any American presidential candidate… We must not let them get away with this
He's a great choice! 👍
He'd make a great candidate.
The sooner the Dems get someone out there holding rallies, grabbing attention, getting the plan out there the better!!
Dems need to get off their ass and get in the game now.
I’d vote for him.
Beshear will have to navigate the post-McConnell political landscape.
McConnell is still beloved by many KY voters, yet hated by most of the country.
If Beshear cannot successfully explain/defend his relationship to
#MoscowMitch, he'll have trouble in progressive states.
I hope he succeeds and rises to the top. Even Louisiana went for Carter/Clinton's 2 terms - the last time the state voted Dem. Southern charm seems to sway them. TImes have changed, but Beshear might have more of a chance in the South, w Conservatives/Independents in general.
Pritzker/Beshear is the ticket!
I'm a Pritzker gal.
He will make a good candidate but Illinois governor will be a better candidate.
I need him in Kentucky convincing them that a democrats in government are a good thing
The Dems could use fresh blood. If he can run on anything else besides trashing his opponent he WILL have a shot.
He’d better play hardball and direct his course towards labor and addressing the needs of people so that he can appear part of the people and not smoking mirrors. He has to be flawless at this point.
I would be good with him as a candidate.
America would be better off if Black women were in charge!
Pritzker too
He would make an excellent President!
He needs to run for McConnells seat. He’s the only democrat that could win it. Wait to run in 2032. He’ll only be 55. We need him in government longer.
Well, OK.
Now personally watching for Pete Buttigieg to run, as well. Together, they would be 🔥
Beshear is giving the commencement speech at our daughter’s graduation next weekend - looking forward to hearing what he has to say
Beshear is good. Watching him from Ohio deal with the Republican state house in Kentucky he's impressive.
He’d make an excellent candidate
We tried nice, kind , and competent. But unless the candidate can titillate the feckless corporate media, good luck getting any traction.
He needs to turn KY around which won't be easy behind 40 years of the dastardly Turtle.
Thanks to dipshit donald duck, it's hard to trust ANYONE running for ANYTHING.
✌🏻💔
If we have to elect another white Christian male (and clearly, too many Americans say we must) he’s a marvelous choice. He knows how to reach kitchen table issues without throwing the most vulnerable, like Trans kids, under the bus. We need his anti-elitist attitude and his conviction.
He's been a good one so far. I definitely want a Democratic Governor for the pick in '28.
We will need a strong executive day one and not some senator or House member figuring out the job.
NOPE
Nobody named "Andy" will be president.
Just no. There are better candidates. Dems can’t risk anything. Harris was a bad choice. Brilliant woman, but that wasn’t enough to beat the MAGA 2025ers. They have a plan that has to be destroyed.
L4L, R4R?
Maybe no one recognizes Beshear because the "mainstream" media never cover him. From the Politico article, it sounds like there should have been plenty of his achievements and policies to cover if they felt like reporting on them.
I really like him!
He’s got my vote. When I moved I kept my residency just long enough to vote for him in ‘23
Be nice if he could shift his state from red to blue first.
Yes, please. I live in Kentucky and he has been an exceptional governor.
Just listened to him on John Stewart's podcast. He was eloquent, reasonable, and personable.
MORE OF HIS TYPE OF DEM
👏👏👏
It's going to be AOC.
I don't know why y'all pretending otherwise.
Assuming we're not in a hot civil war 2028 will be a 2008 level washout and we might as well finally break that ceiling & crush the austerity dipshits once and for another generation or 4.
My Governor is awesome
I like it
Great news!
he could not get rid of Mitch so i don't know how effective he is
He will, one day. BUT first he should take McConnell 's Senate seat, be a force on the national stage restoring our Democracy. ANDY is what leadership is about!!!
Exciting to hear!
Governors like Beshear and Pritzger have more credibility than Congressional Democrats who are not rising to the moment right now.
Okay...good man...but I think we need to address NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!
He’s not a particularly exciting candidate, is he?
I'm not voting for anyone unless they will arrest Trump and all the criminals they let run our country.
I’m sure 2028 will be fair and free.
Yaaas!!!!!
