Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear has opened the door to running for the Democratic nominee in 2028.
In an interview with CNN’s Dana Bash, Beshear was asked point blank about his ambitions moving forward.
Beshear’s term as governor will conclude in December 2027, meaning he could move straight from the governor’s mansion to the White House.
He explained:
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 next year. I’ll also be the head of the Democratic Governors Association.
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.
We’re going to win a lot of elections, and hopefully that paragraph about who speculated in 28 gets bigger because we’ve brought in more leaders.”
If you’d asked me this question a couple of years ago, I would have said no. My family’s been through a lot, but I do not want to leave a broken country to my kids or anyone else’s.
So what I think is most important for 2028 is a candidate that can heal this country, that can bring people back together. So when I sit down, I’m going to think about whether I’m that candidate or whether someone else is that candidate.
I’m going to make sure we’re putting the country first, because my kids deserve to grow up in a country where they don’t have to turn on the news every morning, even when they’re on vacation and say, ‘What the heck happened last night?’

The 47-year-old was considered a leading contender to be Kamala Harris’s running mat, although she ended up picking Minnesota Governor Tim Walz instead.
Despite styling himself as a moderate, Beshear is anything but.
Just last month, the Department of Justice sued his administration for providing discounted college tuition to illegal aliens, all while making American citizens pay the full price.
