All across the nation, endorsements are rolling in for Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee for president. And Kentucky is no exception.
Governor Beshear
(from the Courier-Journal) Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear announced his “full endorsement” for Vice President Kamala Harris as the next president in an interview on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” early Monday.
“The vice president is smart and strong, which will make her a good president,” Beshear said. “But she also is kind and has empathy, which can make her a great president. And the contrast between her and those running on the other side couldn’t be clearer.”
Beshear was referencing former President Donald Trump’s running mate JD Vance, who Beshear said “calls pregnancy rising from rape inconvenient, (which is) just plain wrong.”

The Kentucky Democratic Party
At the request of Governor Andy Beshear, the Kentucky Democratic Party’s delegation to the Democratic National Convention endorsed Kamala Harris as their presidential nominee. Today, KDP Chair Colmon Elridge released the following statement after the KDP delegation overwhelmingly voted to endorse Vice President Harris:
“Over the last four years, Vice President Kamala Harris has been a proven partner to President Joe Biden and delivered on their shared vision to level the playing field for more Americans. She has a remarkable record of public service, from tackling housing costs as a U.S. Senator to protecting consumers as California’s chief law enforcement office. Vice President Harris is ready to serve as president on Day 1 and finish the job that Joe Biden started.
“During these next few months, both Donald Trump and J.D. Vance will try to claim that there’s more that divides us than unites us, relying on fear to drive a wedge between you and your neighbor. We will prove them wrong, reject anger politics, and show that when Americans come together the possibilities for success are endless.
“Now more than ever, we must work hand in hand to elect Kamala Harris. The stakes this November — for both our beloved Commonwealth and our country — are too high.”
