Possible Democratic vice presidential nominee Gov. Andy Beshear (D-KY) apologized to Diet Mountain Dew on Thursday due to an insult in which he mocked the drink and Republican vice presidential nominee Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH).

“Folks, I’ve been a person that, when sometimes I’ve gone over the line, I’ve wanted to make sure that I set the record straight,” Beshear, 46, told reporters. “I do owe an apology to Diet Mountain Dew.”
