Gov. Andy Beshear was voted by his peers to lead the Democratic Governors’ Association in 2026. It’s an influential post that may position him for higher office in the future. Beshear is viewed as a rising Democratic star, as he’s one of the few Democratic governors of a red state. His new political action committee called In This Together engaged in the New Hampshire Governor’s race. It’s raised over $1 million so far, and its role in New Hampshire leads some to think Beshear will run for President in 2028. This is because New Hampshire is the first primary. Even though Beshear is positioning himself for the White House, it remains to be seen if he has the skill to compete with other Democrats at the national level.
