Kentuckian here. People love Andy so much here, they write his name on the soles of their shoes like in Toy Story. His Mr. Rogers vibes got us through Covid. His soft spoken kindness is refreshing.

We love Andy here in Kentucky. Some say he’s a dork, but that is part of his appeal! Bring back intelligence in politicians, make America smart again.

Governor - greetings from Canada. I just want you to know that once this trade war is over, Kentucky is on my bucket list. All because of your leadership. I appreciate the respect you’ve shown to your people as well as Canadians. ❤️🇨🇦🍁

I work for the state of Kentucky. So Andy is technically my boss. We've had the biggest raises under his administration. I went from 41,000 a year to 57,000. We now also have 6 weeks maternity and paternity leave when we previously had nothing. Great guy.

I'm loving this Governor from Kentucky. He is great. So, what America needs, is every state having a Governor just like this guy. That'll help bring the mental health of the people up. He is positive and knowledgeable. He loves his state and is proud of his state. I have really enjoyed you talking to him. Learnt heaps today. Thanks Jon.

Andy Beshear echoes so much of what I deeply admired about President Carter. I am an East Coast/West Coast woman, not a Southerner, and I appreciated this opportunity to "meet" Governor Beshear. I feel enriched by every episode of The Weekly Show! Thank you so much, Jon Stewart! 🙏

This man held back tears each afternoon during Covid when he gave his daily press conference while naming the ones who passed that day.

I'm not exaggerating when I say that Andy saved a lot of lives here in Kentucky during Covid and during the weather disasters we've had by being a calm, honest communicator. And Winnie is a pretty great First Dog, too - we're all big fans.

Kentuckian here. Republicans in the state dont hate Beshear. I dont, and im a Republican. I dont agree with our governor on some issues but he has shown in quantifiable ways that he is trying to make life easier for all Kentuckians and I can respect that.

Beshear is a great leader and a good communicator. I only wish Kentuckians were as willing to vote D for other offices. So many folks vote Republican for the state legislature and never pay attention to what they're actually doing.

I love that his Christian morals are not hypocritical.
A man of integrity!

I was born and raised in KY. In the 1930's, my grandfather was a coal miner in the southeast of the state. He was there during the first "Bloody Harlan County" when coal company thugs opened fire on unionizers like him. While I don't live there anymore, much of my family is still there...and very few of them voted for Gov. Beshear. I think he's done an awesome job, but I only wish he had a blue legislature to work with him.

As a Kentuckian, I would love to see Beshear as our next president. He gets shit done and he has appeal to bring our old allies back to our side.

I was a doctor in rural KY for 12 years during the beginning of the opioid storm. You can thank the Sackler family for a lot of the addiction deaths. I was Republican years ago but now independent. Andy seems like an amazing leader. So nice to hear someone intelligent and caring in politics.
