Beshear posits himself as Democrats' best chance to beat Vance in 2028

Gov. Andy Beshear (D-KY) is laying the groundwork for a 2028 presidential run, baiting Vice President JD Vance as he makes the case for why he could be the best chance for Democrats to take back the White House.

Beshear has not announced that he is running for president in 2028, but he certainly appears to be paving the way to do so in the future. He has visited early primary states, offered his takes on where Democrats can do better on messaging, and started a podcast: all signs pointing to hopes of higher office after his second term as governor ends in December 2027.
