LINCOLN — Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear is coming to Nebraska to speak to Democrats for the state party’s top annual fundraising event in November.

Beshear is a Democratic governor in a deeply red Republican state. He and other 2028 potential presidential hopefuls visited South Carolina in recent weeks, to test the water for their campaign messages.

He was picked to lead the Democratic Governors Association into next year’s midterm elections and has been touted as “most popular Democratic governor in America.” Beshear was attorney general of Kentucky before becoming governor in 2019. His father was previously governor.

A trend of prominent Democratic figures making their way to the heartland has emerged, and some are crossing the Missouri River from traditionally first-in-the-nation Iowa into Nebraska.
