Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for president on Monday morning, praising her intelligence, strength, kindness, and empathy.

Beshear, who gained prominence by winning re-election in a traditionally Republican state, emphasized the clear contrast between Harris and her opponents.

His endorsement adds to the growing support for Harris since President Biden’s withdrawal from the race, The Hill has reported.

As Harris prepares for a potential run, the focus may shift to selecting a running mate, with various governors and senators being considered for the role.
