Beshear: Focusing on Everyday Concerns Is Key for Democrats Vying for Governorships

On Monday in Frankfort, Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear urged Democrats to offer economic solutions for Americans stressed by high housing, health care and other essential costs while leading the Democratic Governors Association this year.
Last week Beshear outlined budget proposals to the Republican-supermajority legislature calling for greater state investments in housing, education and health care while the GOP bill delivered $4.5 trillion in tax breaks and cut more than $1 trillion over a decade.
Telling voters about closed clinics and rising food bank demand, Beshear said candidates should explain their `why`, including faith, and go on offense against President Donald Trump, whom he said `absolutely has no solutions`.
With core economic themes, Democrats aim to build on 2025 victories in Virginia and New Jersey, as three dozen races are at stake in the November midterm elections, Beshear predicted.
With a record of three statewide wins in Republican-trending Kentucky, Beshear condemned aggressive Immigration and Customs Enforcement tactics after the Minneapolis fatal shooting and was noncommittal about the 2028 Democratic presidential race.
