Gov. Andy Beshear‘s (D-KY) legislative policy input has been halted by the Republican supermajority in the general assembly, as the Kentucky state legislature overrode almost all of the Democratic governor’s 2026 session vetoes.

The Kentucky Senate and House supermajorities voted this week to override almost all of Beshear’s legislative vetoes, totaling over two dozen, showing the limits of the Democratic governor’s power in a red state where 80% of the state house and 84% of the state senate are controlled by Republicans.
