Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear refused to deny Monday that he is in the running to be Kamala Harris’ veep pick, saying instead that “it’s flattering to be a part of it.”
During an appearance on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe”, Beshear repeatedly dodged questions about whether he’d been asked — or would at least consider — being Harris’ running mate after President Biden dropped his re-election campaign on Sunday.
“I don’t know how that process is going to work, but it’s flattering to be a part of it,” the governor said.

My good friend who lives in KY said last election women in town that she knows voted for Beshear because he is "hot"
Correct me if I should not worry so much
All I can say is what a shame it is that people vote by race and hotness.
My friend in KY says its unreal they way women fawn over Andy B
Still more anecdotal evidence that the 19th Amendment was a mistake.
Does anyone have a link to The NY Times article that called for Kamala to drop from the ticket? They had an editorial in March calling for that.
What a cuck. She is an ignorant(proven) “AWOC”. If beshear is flattered by this, he too is a fookin’ idiot!
2020 Trump over Biden in Kentucky by 20+%
8 electoral votes. Beshears won the governorship by 5% last year.
He makes no sense for Harris. They are not getting those 8. Out of reach.
Better for her to choose from Pennsylvania.
Beshear still won, didn’t he?
This ain’t horseshoes.
If you look at my past posts, he was always my pick if the Democrats wanted someone who can win. They do best with a fresh face, preferably from a conservative state (Georgia or Arkansas). Has a demeanor that doesn’t come across as lefty. He knows how to run a campaign and presents very well.
If Harris is looking to shore up the sissy, beta male vote, Beshear would be a great pick.
Duh
Tell him to wait a week until the next battleground states polls come out
The donors could demand a new candidate at the top!
lololololololol
Worry much shallow people do not think about things they react to things imagine living in Hollywood.
Beshear would be a good choice for the Dems, which means they probably won’t pick him.
If they go for Gov. Shapiro, they might eke out PA, but will be writing off Michigan and possibly Minnesota.
No way that a member of the tribe will get the votes from the enclaves that produce Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib.
No scrutiny. I don’t expect the media eill do much but scrutiny can change things. Biden couldn’t take 3 weeks of scrutiny. Don’t play nice. Start the destruction process on whomever we think is potentially to be on the ticket. Top and bottom.
This is what worries me a bit. Harris = women and black women fall over themselves to vote for her.

First, very few VP picks have ever made a substantial difference. Dick Cheney helped GWB b/c of the “gravitas” issue. Lieberman helped Gore in Florida b/c of the Jewish vote and getting Jewish contributors. But these were nominal positive gains.
Second, MSNBC “black women” may love Kamala, but I’m not feeling the love in urban areas. Also, black men do NOT like her.
Third, Beshear won b/c Kentucky Democrats still have life in state races, the Republicans that have run against him were weak (Bevin was a Yankee and kind of a jerk, and Cameron brought zero black voters to his cause but alienated a lot of white voters), and Beshear ran as a moderate (and he is ball-less in Frankfort, b/c the Republicans have large majorities in both houses).
Finally, Beshear brings NOTHING to a potential Dem. ticket. The three choices that make sense are the white guys from swing states that might be able to swing the race one or two points in their states (NC, AZ, and PA). IMHO.
I doubt he can swing Kentucky, we have Mitch there energized and getting out the vote....
Good points
We know nothing about these people. Everyone is telling the upside but none of the downside is being discussed. One of the benefits of the late change for Trump is we could realistically have a shocking development because these people are unknowns. Could prove too cute by half. We’ll see.
We should all be worried. It is by no means going to be an easy victory for Trump. This will be as close as the 2020 election.
