The Hill - While California Gov. Gavin Newsom has stolen much of the attention in Democratic conversations about the next presidential race, another governor is quietly garnering some buzz among strategists and top Democratic donors: Andy Beshear.
The Kentucky governor has been able to win elections in a fiercely red state as a measured, moderate Democrat. He’s not a brash, in-your-face kind of politician, and that’s the appeal, Democrats say.
“For those craving normalcy, he is their answer,” said John Morgan, a Democratic donor and injury lawyer, who recently met with Beshear and found him to be impressive.
Morgan says he has a “very good chance” of winning a presidential contest, should he choose to enter, highlighting the governor’s “authenticity.” “He has won 3 times in a very red state,” Morgan said. “He knows the path.”
