How Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear Thinks Democrats Can Win Rural America The two-term governor spoke with TNR about the challenges and opportunities for his party in the Trump era—and whether he’s planning to run for president.

Rural Americans deserve to be seen, heard and supported. That isn't happening in D.C.

Democrats can change that – and we plan to.

Announcing our new DGA Chair and Vice Chair: Govs. @andybeshearky.bsky.social and Gretchen Whitmer! 💙

Dem Govs are making life better by staying laser-focused on issues like lowering costs and creating jobs. These two will keep their foot on the gas and help lead us into victory in 2026 💪

Our country needs a leader who brings us together instead of creating an "us" vs. "them."

America wasn't built on division. Unity is the only way forward.

First snow day for Kentucky. Be safe everyone and enjoy!

The holidays remind us what's important: our loved ones, a safe place to call home, and the ability to care for our families. I am going to keep focusing on the everyday things that matter most to our people.

Thankful for another year and for the chance to celebrate with my favorite people (and Winnie).

Thankful for a new day and more time to enjoy with our loved ones. Remember, life is short — let’s do good things and be kind to each other.

Tonight, I’m praying for Sarah’s family; for the recovery of U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe; and for the future of our country. 2/2

U.S. Army Spc. Sarah Beckstrom should be enjoying Thanksgiving with her family; but yesterday’s senseless shooting has now claimed her life. Violence has no place in the United States of America. 1/2

Today can be a tough one for those who have lost someone or are struggling. I want those folks to know, we're here for you and we love you. Let's check in on our neighbors and make sure we spread love and kindness.

Couldn't be more thankful. Happy Thanksgiving, and God bless our commonwealth and country.

Opinion | This slap in the face to rural America is a chance to turn it blue Democrats should be the party of aspiration — and talk like normal human beings.

"As we watch the consequences of the Trump presidency play out in real time, Democrats face a critical inflection point," @govandybeshear.bsky.social writes.

"We must meet this moment with urgency and focus — and with the clear and tangible vision it requires."

Democrats must step in where Republicans have proven they won't: addressing families’ daily needs so they can believe in the American Dream again. Affording groceries, becoming a homeowner or taking a vacation feels out of reach. It's time we fix that.

Investing in America creates good jobs, strong communities and a bright future. I'm thankful for companies like GE Appliances making that a priority.

My faith teaches me that food is life-giving and meant to be shared. From the miracle of fishes and loaves to the Last Supper, we are called to feed and care for each other – and I’m proud that we’ve made that a priority in Kentucky.

Our President should be fighting hunger – not causing it – and his decisions around SNAP put too many American families at risk. In Kentucky, I’m making sure we’re doing everything possible to process SNAP benefits as quickly as possible so these families can put food on their tables.

America is the home of the free because of the brave, and we must always remember, recognize and honor our selfless veterans. God bless these heroes and all those who serve our great country to protect our freedoms as Americans.

While this is great news, our fight isn’t over. We’ve joined other states to urge the appellate court to keep this ruling in effect. I’ll always work to protect our families and lead with kindness, not cruelty.

Despite the President’s attempts to do what no other President in history has ever done – withhold SNAP funding – the courts have ruled that blocking these funds was illegal and they must be fully funded.

No President in our history has withheld SNAP benefits during a federal shutdown until now. People going hungry in this instance is a choice President Trump has made.

And let me be very clear: It's the wrong choice.

The families of those lost from the devastating plane crash in Louisville are hurting. While the images may fade, the trauma will last for years. This is a loving community where we take care of each other. Right now, we're hurting - and Kentucky can use your prayers.

Our country came together to help move these states forward, and tonight I’m asking we focus that energy on prayers for those affected by this deadly event in Kentucky. We need all the love and support we can get right now. 2/2

As the incoming chair of @demgovs.org, I worked hard on tonight’s races in Virginia and New Jersey and I’m proud of what we accomplished. Sadly, my focus tonight is on my state of Kentucky where we’ve suffered a catastrophic plane crash that has taken the lives of at least 7. 1/2

Hunger impacts red states and blue, Mr. President. We're elected to serve every American, and politics should never get in the way of that.

This morning, I'm thinking of our food banks and all the amazing people across our country who are stepping up to help their neighbors during these challenging times. To everyone lending a hand and making a difference: Thank you.

A statement from Gov. Andy Beshear.

My faith teaches me that food is lifegiving and meant to be shared. From the miracle of fishes and loaves to the Last Supper, we are called to feed and care for each other. The Trump administration prohibiting SNAP benefits is wrong. We should be fighting hunger, not causing it.

Trump's tariffs are hurting the industries he claims he's trying to help. Their harmful impacts are already being felt here in Kentucky and across the nation. You don't have to just believe me, Republican Sens. Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul agree.

A President threatening to jail a sitting Governor is unacceptable and is the opposite of what this country stands for and was founded on. I stand with Gov. Pritzker and for the rights of each state across our great nation.
