It is tough to be a Democratic governor in a state considered to be “Red,” and it just got tougher for Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear.
The governor has been popular enough in his state that he is considered one of the top picks for the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination for 2028, having defeated his Republican opponent, incumbent Republican Gov. Matt Bevin, in 2019 with a total of 709,890 votes, which was 49.20 percent of the vote.
