Democratic Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear told reporters he has no plans to run for president as long as President Biden continues to run for re-election.
Kentucky Democrat Gov. Andy Beshear told reporters Monday that even though President Biden’s recent debate performance was 'rough,' he has no intention of sliding into presidential contention unless Biden bows out of the race. Reporters asked Beshear what he thought about Biden's performance in last week’s debate and whether he should remain in the race. 'Well, the debate performance was rough. It was a very bad night for the president,' the Kentucky governor said.
But he also told reporters that he was flattered when people mention his name as someone being considered to lead the party as a presidential candidate. 'I think it’s a reflection of all the good things going on in Kentucky. As compared to the rest of the country, the temperature’s been turned down here,' Beshear said.
Beshear said he thinks the rest of the country is turning to the things being done in Kentucky, and he talked about how a Democrat governor and a Republican general assembly can get good results. 'I think the answer to that is everything is not partisan, and people are tired of the clashes, day in and day out,' he said. 'So, when they look at what we have done in Kentucky, they see a better future that’s beyond some of the back-and-forth that we see on the federal level.
