Gov. Andy Beshear says Democrats should set partisanship aside, work to meet people’s needs

Associated Press  

FRANKFORT, Ky. — Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear said Wednesday that Democrats should be thinking less about partisan politics and more about meeting people’s everyday needs as they chart a comeback strategy after last month’s crushing election losses. “These are the core areas the American people need help on, and that’s where we as Democrats should be, but that’s where every Republican should be, too,” Beshear said during a sit-down interview at the Kentucky Capitol. “The Democratic Party needs to stay laser focused on people’s everyday needs,” he said. If he succeeds in helping elect more Democratic governors in 2026, the party’s bench of potential candidates for national office will grow, Beshear said Wednesday.
