The Kentucky governor threw his weight behind the vice president’s presidential bid on Monday morning.
“I don’t know how that process is gonna be, but it’s flattering to be a part of it,” Beshear said when asked if he was interested in being her VP pick., 81, “for being a phenomenal president” who helped “secure his legacy” by putting country over party and deciding to step aside for re-election.“With that, I am excited to fully endorse Vice President Harris for the next president of the United States,” Beshear said, calling Harris “smart” and “strong.
“The nerve that he has to call the people of Kentucky, of Eastern Kentucky, lazy—these are the hardworking coal miners that powered the Industrial Revolution,” Beshear continued, “that created the strongest middle class the world has ever seen, powered us through two world wars. We should be thanking them, not calling them lazy.”
Beshear demurred when co-host Willie Geist asked if he would be interested in serving as Harris’ running mate.
