Gov. Andy Beshear says he’ll ‘take a look’ at running for president
Governor Andy Beshear, D-Ky., Did not exclude the candidacy for the presidency in 2028, telling the moderator of “meeting the press”, Kristen Welker, whom he could “take a look” at the launch of an offer.
“I would never have considered this a few years ago, but I will not leave a country broken to my children or to anyone else,” said Beshear on Sunday. “And so if I am someone who at that time, I think I can heal the country, then I will take him a look.”
Beshear, who was elected for the first time in 2019, won the re -election in 2023, becoming a rare democrat to govern a Ruby red state, where 64.5% of voters made ballots for President Donald Trump in 2024.
When he was asked if he presented himself to the presidency, Beshear said: “What I am doing right now is trying to be a reasonable voice which, we hope, is not content to bring together the Democrats, but democrats, republicans and independents.”
“This country has become far too partisan, too” we against them “. If we can focus on the basic problems that raise each American, we can really move to right or left, but forward as a country, “added Beshear.
Asked a second time if he was considering a race for the presidency, Beshear said: “At the moment, what I am trying to do is to speak for my people and for the American people, in particular with this attack on rural America and the” great ugly bill “.
Beshear is one of the many Democrats who have become potential presidential contenders, many of whom make trips to the first primary states. Beshear goes to South Carolina next week – a Governor of State Gavin Newsom, D -Calif., Also visited last week.
Beshear previously expressed an opening to the candidacy for the presidency, and last week he told CNN that he did not want to leave “a country broken to my children or to someone else”, a feeling he reiterated on Sunday.
“What I think is most important for 2028 is a candidate who can heal this country, who can bring people together,” he said in the interview with CNN. “So when I sit, I’m going to think about whether I’m a candidate or if someone else is this candidate.”
