Overview
- Gov. Andy Beshear told CBS' Face the Nation that he has not decided on a 2028 presidential bid and is concentrating on helping Democrats win governor races as chair of the Democratic Governors Association.
- He proposed several constitutional changes, including term limits for Congress and the Supreme Court, an end to partisan redistricting, overturning Citizens United, enshrining parts of the Voting Rights Act, and direct election of the president and vice president.
- Beshear argued Democrats must deliver practical results on high costs for groceries, gas, health care and housing and cited his administration's record on job creation and affordable housing as examples.
- He said he has received no private updates on Sen. Mitch McConnell's health beyond public statements and urged Senate leaders to ensure senators have the capacity to serve and be accountable to voters.
- Those reform proposals would require constitutional amendments and face steep political and legal hurdles, while his DGA role gives him a national organizing platform to build influence whether he ultimately runs or not.
