Deciding on 2028: Governors as Potential Nominees

Andy Beshear is the most popular Democratic governor in the country – in a state Donald Trump won by more than 30 points in 2024.

He explains why he believes a President JD Vance could be “more damaging than Trump”, lays out his playbook for winning back voters in Trump country, and calls out the litmus test he thinks Democrats should abandon.

Can a Democrat who wins in deep-red Kentucky translate that success nationally? Beshear argues why someone like him may have an advantage at the top of the Democratic ticket in 2028.
