Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear talks about ICE, Trump’s economy, and his defense of LGBTQ rights

“My faith is what drives to veto anti-LGBTQ laws.”It’s great to hear that from a red state governor. Gov. Andy Beshear of Kentucky, who joined me in studio for my SiriusXM program, has won statewide twice as governor (last re-elected in 2023) and previously as attorney general—a Democrat in a state that voted for Donald Trump by 31 points in 2024.But he hasn’t done it by being a centrist on issues that MAGA sees as red meat. And the fact that he’s the most popular Democratic governor in the country and is in a deep red state makes him very interesting and surely someone who has a lot to say to other Democrats about how to win.We discussed that, as well as what the next president needs to do—and his own discussion on whether he will run in 2028.The Signorile Report is reader-supported.
