The New York Times published a hard-hitting report, Sunday, laying out the ways in which President Donald Trump has monetized his office. But the Gray Lady didn’t exactly let Democrats off the hook Sunday — as they also ran a devastating feature on the party’s efforts to win back young male voters. In the piece — written by national political correspondent Shane Goldmacher — some brutal details were reported about the Democratic party’s efforts to bring young men back into the fold. “Democratic donors and strategists have been gathering at luxury hotels to discuss how to win back working-class voters,...

Top Democratic operatives and donors have been hobnobbing in “luxury hotels” while trying to figure out why the party is shedding men and the working class — moves that have liberals have slammed as out of touch. In one instance, liberal super PAC Future Forward hosted a gathering in the Ritz-Carlton resort in wealthy Half Moon Bay, California, to apprise donors on what went wrong in 2024. Prominent figures such as California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) and Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear (D) were reported in attendance. Some of the elite gatherings featured appetizers like short-rib tostones, mini lobster rolls, beef...

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) and DNC Vice Chair Malcolm Kenyatta joined SiriusXM Urban View hosts Clay Cane and Reecie Colbert this week for a town hall discussion about the future of the Democratic Party and, in a promotional clip, she told them the party is eyeing a safe “white boy” candidate for 2028. During the conversation, Crockett turned to who the Democrats might run in the next presidential election and said she’s already hearing chatter of who donors are rallying behind. “It is, it is this fear that the people within the party, within the primary system, will have about...

VIDEOKentucky Governor Andy Beshear thought it was a good idea to start a podcast. He must have noticed Gavin Newsom's podcast and thought it was the thing to do if you are a presidential contender. Wrong move! As you can see, all Beshear accomplished was to expose himself as a really really BORING person. His words are spoken in very carefully measured staccato portions chock full of ennui. Nothing about his personality shines at all since all he projects is the cold soul of a professional member of the Nomenklatura who dares not risk saying anything interesting for fear of...

Political strategists are not yet sold that Democrats rumored to be prospective 2028 presidential candidates have all that it takes to unite the party and retake the White House. Failed 2024 candidates Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, former Obama White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emmanuel, former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and a handful of Democrat governors — Gavin Newsom of California, Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania, Andy Beshear of Kentucky and Wes Moore of Maryland — are all thought to be potentially sizing up runs for the White House in 2028 as Democrats try to fight their way out of...

KFC, the fast-food restaurant chain formerly known as Kentucky Fried Chicken, is moving its corporate headquarters in the US from Kentucky to Texas, its owner has announced. Yum Brands said it will shift the office from Louisville to Plano though KFC will keep some operations in Kentucky, including its KFC Foundation. However, Andy Beshear, governor of the state of Kentucky, said: "I am disappointed by this decision and believe the company's founder would be, too. In recent years, many companies have relocated to Texas attracted by the state's lower taxes and business-friendly policies. The decision by Yum Brands is part...

Governor Andy Beshear (D-KY) said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that there was no lie too big for former President Donald Trump or his running mate, Sen. JD Vance (R-OH). Partial transcript as follows: MARTHA RADDATZ: A lot of hard work ahead. I’d like to hear a quick reaction to what you heard J.D. Vance talk about. BESHEAR: It’s just amazing. Apparently, there is no lie too big for Donald Trump and J.D. Vance. I mean, when you ask him about the last election, all you’re asking him to do is admit reality, and we deserve to have a vice...

Earlier on Tuesday we covered how Gov. Andy Beshear (D-KY) expressed a desire for a family member of Sen. JD Vance (R-OH), the running mate for former and potentially future President Donald Trump, to get raped and become pregnant as a result. He made such comments during "Morning Joe," and was then asked again on Tuesday by Andrea Mitchell, during which he continued to attack Vance. "Make him go through this," Beshear had insisted to "Morning Joe" co-host Mika Brzezinski as he ranted against pro-life laws at the state level. The governor made such a declaration about Vance and his...

Democrats always find creative ways to sink to new lows when it comes to rhetoric, and Democrat Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear went straight to the depths of Hell this morning to make a disturbing statement about Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH) and his family. As The Gateway Pundit reported, Day One at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago was a total catastrophe with pro-Hamas protesters breaking through barriers, several speakers screaming like banshees, and Joe Biden melting down on stage as expected. Beshear gave a speech on Monday evening piling on this disaster by celebrating abortion on demand. He equated the...

Sen. J.D. Vance took to X to slam Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear on Tuesday morning, alleging that the governor wished “a member of my family would get raped.” Vance previously called pregnancy from rape “inconvenient,” and Beshear recounted Vance’s comments during his appearance on MSNBC’s Morning Joe. “J.D. Vance calls pregnancy from rape ‘inconvenient,’ like inconvenience is traffic. Make him go through this,” said Beshear. He also spoke in reference to Democratic National Convention speaker Hadley Duvall, who was raped by her stepfather at 12-years-old and became pregnant. “J.D. Vance calls pregnancy from rape ‘inconvenient,’ like inconvenience is traffic. Make...

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear (D) defended Vice President Harris’s newly unveiled economic agenda, saying it will help ensure the economy is working properly. “I do because I’ve been an attorney general, just like the Vice President, I pursued price gouging statutes and their violations when it comes to the price of gas in Kentucky, and we won and ultimately returned millions of dollars to our people. This isn’t about trying to price fix. It’s just making sure that the economy is operating the way it should, that this is really supply and demand, which we all respect,” he said on...

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro (D), who previously served as that state's Attorney General, is reportedly on Kamala Harris's shortlist for her running mate. Shapiro would seem to bring some significant things to the table: executive experience, popularity in a key swing state, and support from unions. But progressive groups are nevertheless warning Harris away from Shapiro. One letter signed by nearly 50 progressive leaders pointed to Shapiro’s “shortcomings as a national candidate” and urged the vice president to consider Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear (D) and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) instead. “With the compressed timeline ahead of us to defeat...

Democrat Governor of Kentucky Andy Beshear has received additional security detail protection. According to a report by CBS News, Gov. Beshear is one of a dozen people being vetted by the Harris campaign as a possible VP pick for Harris. Brown wrote in a post on X, “My source in Kentucky informs me that Governor Andy Beshear has gotten additional security detail protection.” Brown further reported that Beshear posted a cryptic Facebook post last week reading, “No matter where he goes, Kentucky will always be in his heart.”

Beshear appeared on MSNBC's Morning Joe Monday morning and used his endorsement of Harris to criticize Vance. "Let me just tell you; JD Vance ain't from here," Beshear said. "The nerve that he has to call the people of Kentucky, of eastern Kentucky, 'lazy.' These are the hardworking coal miners that powered the industrial revolution, that created the strongest middle class the world has ever seen. They powered us through two world wars. We should be thanking them, not calling them lazy. So today was an opportunity to support the vice president, but also to stand up for my people....

President Biden’s campaign is intensely trying to quell speculation that he may drop out of the 2024 race following his lackluster debate performance last week. Most top Democrats have voiced support for Biden continuing in the race, while members of his family, including first lady Jill Biden, have declared they also want him to remain a candidate, casting doubt on the potential for replacing Biden. But if Biden were to step aside, several prominent Democrats could be waiting in the wings as possible successors. Here are the top possible Biden replacements: Kamala Harris Gavin Newsom Gretchen Whitmer Pete Buttigieg Josh...

new report suggests that presidential debate affected director Rob Reiner and actress Jane Fonda so immensely that the latter was reduced to tears while the former screamed at the TV. According to CNN, people in attendance at the Hollywood debate watch party this past Thursday said that Reiner and Fonda were emotionally swept up in seeing President Joe Biden perform poorly against former President Trump. A debate watch party in Los Angeles on Thursday night happened to feature Harris’ husband Doug Emhoff, Pritzker, Whitmer and Beshear. There were other high-profile attendees – by a few answers in, Rob Reiner was...

“Nobody” should go to jail for “smoking weed,” Vice President Kamala Harris said Friday, despite having prosecuted nearly 2,000 cases of marijuana possession, cultivation, or sale as California’s attorney general. Harris’s public flip-flop is likely due to the politics of a difficult reelection campaign in which the Biden-Harris ticket is losing to former President Donald Trump in 75 percent of 2024 swing states, polling shows. Harris condemned prosecuting those who smoke flowers while speaking at a roundtable event about cannabis reform with musician Fat Joe and Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear (D).

Governor Andy Beshear (D-KY) said Wednesday on CNN’s “News Central” that Republicans anti-trans political ads were an example of “anger politics.” Anchor Jake Tapper said, “You said this PAC is about supporting candidates who push back against the national trend of anger politics and division, and I wonder how you define, anger politics and division.”

Tonight, President Trump will join me for a GOTV Tele-Rally to directly ask the working men and women of Kentucky to support this historic campaign. Join us tonight by dialing in at 9 PM ET / 8 PM CT! #TeamCameron

A new Emerson College poll out on Friday shows Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear and Attorney General Daniel Cameron in a dead heat less than a week before the Kentucky gubernatorial election — both polling at 47%. The results are a shift for Beshear, who has had a significant lead in almost all polling leading up to the election. Earlier in October, he was polling at 49% in the same poll as Cameron sat at 33%, and 13% of respondents would rather vote for someone else.
