Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear is downplaying party labels in seeking a second term in Republican-leaning Kentucky. Campaigning Monday in Richmond, Kentucky, Beshear played up his role in creating jobs, improving roads and leading the state’s recovery from disasters. He says those are basic needs that rise above partisan politics.

Beshear responded Monday that the campaign comes down to competing messages of “division vs. vision” while touting his work on core issues he said should be immune from partisan politics. In urging Kentuckians to stick with him, Beshear said there’s a “better chance to build that better Kentucky for our kids and our grandkids. And a chance to leave a collective legacy of more opportunity for the next generation than we ever thought was possible.”
“I think he’s had the courage to stand up for important things that have helped us all, like protections during the pandemic,” Bolster said later, crediting the governor’s policies for saving lives. Beshear says he leaned heavily on guidance from Trump’s coronavirus task force in his executive orders. The virus has killed more than 19,000 Kentuckians since early 2020.
