As Beshear Eyes 2028, He'll Need to Deal with 'the Groups'
FRANKLIN COUNTY, KENTUCKY, JUL 18 – Beshear aims to unite moderate Democrats and overcome fundraising challenges as he builds a national profile in a crowded 2028 Democratic presidential field.
- Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear has expressed interest in running for president and is navigating the early stages of the Democratic nomination process.

- If Beshear pursues the nomination, his moderate record and crisis management abilities could position him well, but success depends on overcoming party dynamics and campaign hurdles in coming years.
