Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear (D) revealed “absolute lessons” on Sunday that the Democratic Party can learn from his state, which President-elect Donald Trump won for the third-straight time in this year’s election.
“It’s about a relentless focus on people’s everyday needs and their everyday life,” Beshear emphasized in an appearance on CBS News’ “ Face the Nation .”
Beshear — who is seen as a possible presidential candidate for 2028 — told host Margaret Brennan it’s about sharing “your authentic why” with voters, as well.
“Because, remember, if we’re talking about this issue of the day and then we’re talking about what Donald Trump said last night and then we’re talking about jobs, we’re only spending a third of the time talking about what people are worried about and what impacts their life the most,” he said.
Beshear, a surrogate of Kamala Harris ’ failed campaign, declined to do any “finger-pointing” over the vice president’s election loss and instead looked ahead.
“Going forward, over the next couple years, we have a chance every day, every moment, to show the American people that we are laser-focused on jobs, on their health care, on their infrastructure, on their kids’ education,” he said.
