Andy Beshear is making serious moves toward a 2028 presidential run

PERRY COUNTY, Kentucky — Andy Beshear isn’t just saying he “would consider” running for president. He’s actively laying the tracks for a potential 2028 campaign.

He’s meeting privately with donors, recording a podcast and regularly popping up at national events. A former Kamala Harris communications staffer is consulting for him, and he’s speaking at the Future Forward donor summit this weekend in California. Conservative activist Charlie Kirk has name-checked him as among the toughest Democrats to beat.

The selling point for Beshear, the popular, two-term governor of Kentucky, is his proven ability to win in Trump country while still running as an unapologetic Democrat. But he’s also done that by flying under the national radar, leaving him in a relative obscurity that he must now overcome. The challenge is translating what he calls his “reasonable” and “common sense” Kentucky story into a national Democratic primary campaign, and testing whether his low-key personality can excite major Democratic donors and primary voters — and break through a fragmented media environment.

“He’s the kind of guy that is either going to bump along at two percent and never catch fire, or he’ll catch fire and you’ll say, ‘Where did this guy come from?’” said Pete Giangreco, a veteran of several Democratic presidential campaigns. “He’s a former attorney general, he talks about ‘all God’s children,’ and you believe him, he’s the exact opposite of Donald Trump, so he’s an intriguing dark horse for a reason.”

It worked for Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton, whom Beshear occasionally draws comparisons to, but that was several political lifetimes ago. Recent rural-state Democratic governors to try it, Montana’s Steve Bullock and Colorado’s John Hickenlooper, never cracked the single-digit polling basement of the 2020 Democratic primary.

The 2028 campaign may present the most favorable conditions for governors in recent history, with Democrats out of power in Washington and struggling to mount a coordinated pushback to Trump’s overhaul of the federal government. Governors saw their influence — and their public profiles — grow during the coronavirus pandemic and, for Democrats, they now represent a rare bloc of power.

He’s “definitely actively making the rounds on the donor circuit,” said one major Democratic donor adviser, granted anonymity to discuss private events. His super PAC spent six figures on a rural mail program in the Wisconsin state Supreme Court race in March that was one of the first electoral tests of the second Trump administration. He’s delivered speeches at Davos in Switzerland and the House Democrats’ “issues conference” in Leesburg, Virginia, just outside of Washington, as well as headlining Nancy Pelosi’s fundraiser for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee in March. Lauren Hitt, the former Kamala Harris staffer, is consulting for the governor, as are a new set of fundraising consultants.

Arguably Beshear’s biggest springboard will come next year, when he’ll serve as the Democratic Governors Association chair, a perch used by other presidential aspirants like Tim Walz to widen their connections.

“What you see are cable news stations that set up a camera outside of Congress because it’s the easiest thing to do, and then take whatever is said there, and say, ‘that’s this party or that party.’ Governors are very different,” Beshear said in an interview with POLITICO, sitting in the backseat of his black SUV. “You have a big difference, I will say, between the DC bubble and when you’re a governor.”
