Beshear says he didn’t write book because he’s planning 2028 White House bid
Beshear said he will wait until after the midterm elections and consult his family before deciding on a possible 2028 presidential run.
- On Sunday, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear promoted his memoir, "Go and Do Likewise: How We Heal a Broken Country," at Joseph-Beth Booksellers in Lexington, discussing faith and governance with Poet Laureate Silas House before more than 700 attendees.
- Beshear uses the memoir to draw sharp contrasts with former Governor Matt Bevin, repeatedly referring to him as "Trump Lite" throughout the text to clarify his political distinctions and governance philosophy.
- The title draws from the Gospel of Luke's parable of the Good Samaritan, with Beshear framing his political philosophy around Jesus' instruction to "go and do likewise" as a mandate for healing the country.
- Beshear deferred his 2028 presidential decision until after the midterms and his Democratic Governors Association term ends, while acknowledging he is "no longer sure" his 2024 pledge to avoid further campaigns remains true.
- As a Democrat in "now-ruby-red Kentucky," Beshear positions himself as a centrist aiming to demonstrate that faith-based leadership can resonate in a polarized political climate and offer a model for national Democratic strategy.
