Andy Beshear Should Run for Senate

Mike Murphy: “Kentucky’s two-term Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear is seriously exploring a possible 2028 race for president after his term ends in 2027.”

“That would be a mistake. In the modern Democratic primary electorate, a white male candidate with a moderate record would face an uphill battle.”

“So, what is an ambitious, talented Democratic governor with a long record of winning races in ruby-red Kentucky to do? Simple: Run for retiring Sen. Mitch McConnell’s open seat. Beshear could win and become a national hero to Democrats hoping to seize control of the Senate next year.”
