LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) — Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear took to social media Tuesday evening to tease an announcement Wednesday.
In posts on his personal Facebook and X pages Tuesday evening — not his official Kentucky governor accounts — Beshear said "I'm excited to share something with y'all that I've been working on for a while. It's driven by my faith and values, and I believe it offers a pathway forward that can bring people together. I'll share here tomorrow — stay tuned."
The Democratic governor gave no indication what the announcement will be about. People in the comments of the social media posts speculate that it could be a presidential campaign announcement, as Beshear has been asked continually if he's considering a run for the White House.
Beshear's name gained national recognition when he made the shortlist of potential running mates for then-Vice President Kamala Harris' 2024 presidential campaign.
He spoke on a potential presidential run during a stop at WDRB in December:
"Well, when I take on a job, I give it everything I have. I hope people see that as my time as as governor, because where we've come from in the last six years — when people used to look down on Kentucky and now they're looking up to us — is pretty special for all of us as a people. This next year, I took on a job of being head of the Democratic Governors Association, so my sole focus is 36 races around the country.
"We've got to make sure that we're getting good leadership to people that aren't seeing it. Democratic governors create more and better jobs. They expand health care, not restrict it. And so that's my focus moving forward. But I am going to try to continue to be a national voice that's common sense, that finds common ground and gets things done and make sure that Kentucky has a seat at any table."
Beshear is currently serving his second term as Kentucky's governor, which ends in 2027.Â
