Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear engaged in a conversation with Vice President Kamala Harris on Sunday, following President Joe Biden's announcement of discontinuing his presidential campaign. A source with knowledge of the call revealed this information.
Although Beshear extended his congratulations to Harris in a statement, he refrained from publicly endorsing her. Subsequently, he took to Twitter on Sunday to announce his upcoming appearance on a show scheduled for Monday.
Earlier reports from a news agency indicated that certain prominent Democrats were anticipating an open race for Harris' running mate. The focus was on leading Democratic governors, particularly highlighting Beshear and North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper. Additionally, other potential candidates mentioned were Governor Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania, Governor J.B. Pritzker of Illinois, and Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota.
