In an interview with Kentucky Public Radio, Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear, discussed his priorities as he approaches his last two-year budget session as Kentucky’s leader. He’ll face the Republican-controlled legislature as he attempts to secure funding for programs like his Pre-K for All initiative.
The governor also discussed the upcoming midterms and his new role as the chair of the Democratic Governors Association. Beshear has shown up more and more as a potential presidential nominee in 2028 since reportedly finding himself on the shortlist for Kamala Harris’s running mate in the last presidential election.
Asked about the prospects for Kentucky Democrats, who hold less than 20% of seats in the two legislative chambers, Beshear said he is expecting to see some wins during the midterm.
Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear is looking ahead to the legislative session, where lawmakers will pass the last two-year budget of his governorship, and toward the midterm elections where Democrats hope to make big waves both nationally and in Kentucky.
