The newspaper's editorial said Beshear has been an unflappable presence throughout some of our most tempestuous history, rising above politics to emphasize the needs of all Kentuckians.
He has created a better Kentucky and deserves a second term to continue his work.
The Herald-Leader said Bashir's Republican opponent, Attorney General Daniel Cameron, chose not to meet with the newspaper's editorial board.
The newspaper says, according to its policy, he was disqualified for endorsement consideration because of that.
The Herald-Leader also questioned whether Cameron, quote, can rise above his extremist rhetoric aimed at the furthest right wing portions of the state.
The newspaper is also endorsing Michael Adams, the Republican running for a second term as secretary of state.
The editorial announced announcing the endorsement praises Adams, quote, a stalwart defense of democracy and his willingness to resist the most extreme elements of the former president, Donald Trump wing of the Republican Party.
Adams worked with Governor Beshear during the COVID pandemic to allow early voting and expanded voting by mail.
The Herald-Leader praised Adams, his Democratic opponent, former state representative Buddy Wheatley, and said he would be a fine secretary of state.
But the newspaper said a Republican led General Assembly would never agree to his plans to expand voting in Kentucky.
