Andy is a good man and has been great for Kentucky.
Andy came on TV at 4PM every day during the pandemic. He held our hands during a horrible, horrible time. He busted his hump for Eastern Kentuckians during floods and Western Kentuckians after tornados. He is just a good, decent man. And don't forget, he informed the country that JD Vance "ain't from here." he has been the best Kentucky Governor in my lifetime. I hope that he will someday be POTUS.
Andy never throws vulnerable people under the bus and wins in Kentucky❤
The only thing in this state that I love more than bourbon is Andy Beshear.
"Sanitized language".. Ghost of George Carlin approves of that criticism.
Thank you, Tim, for having our Andy on. We love him and are very proud to have him in Kentucky ❤
Anyone that thinks JD Vance is terrible is aces in my book!
THIS is how a president and politician should act
How many donors to the ballroom pay their workers low enough wages that they qualify for Snap and Medicaid?
As a lefty Canuck I am genuinely surprised to find myself agreeing with everything the Governor of Kentucky says.
