Gov. Andy Beshear (D-KY) is among the top names being floated as a running mate for Vice President Kamala Harris if she secures the Democratic presidential nomination.

The popular Kentucky governor was elected to office by a razor-thin margin in 2019 and reelected to a second term last November. His ability to win over voters in a deep-red state while still taking liberal stances on issues such as abortion rights could make him a successful vice presidential candidate.
