Governor Andy Beshear.
His victory on Tuesday means his next term, which starts next month, expires in 2027.
Since he can't run again, that has some wondering what's next for one of America's most popular governors.
Do you guarantee that this term we're going to finish this term as governor before looking at anything?
Every single day I have left is special.
It's an opportunity.
And listen, when you've been the governor during a pandemic and tornadoes and floods, but then also, I mean, landing the the Ford plants, I mean, the two biggest battery plants on planet Earth, the game changing state, changing investment that that's going to be, you get to see what one day, just one day can do for the lives of Kentuckians and maybe for the next ten years.
I'm going to serve every single day of these next four years.
This job will have my sole attention.
I love this commonwealth.
It's where my kids, our kids are growing up.
I want to leave it in the very best shape I can so that some people saw a hard working governor the first term.
And in this campaign, I'm gonna work just as hard because every last moment is precious.
And I'm saying that with four years of them left.
But we're going to make sure that we make the very best of it.
And then after that.
We'll see.
We just came off an election.
Will is a freshman in high school, less than eighth grade.
I'm happy that their lives are going to remain stable.
Frankfurt's been really good to us.
I'm just living in this moment.
Caters the big pay.
And Beshear wasn't the only one.
Asked about his future political aspirations.
Well, she just asked if I would run for governor in 2027.
I think that's a little bit like putting Christmas decorations up for Halloween.
We just got through this election and we have a lot to accomplish.
We've got a lot of really good things going on in Kentucky.
And so my main focus is going to be continuing to support this administration moving forward, and then we'll see what comes in the future.
But right now, there's just so much potential and we've got to make sure that we work really hard to see that through.
The Governor Bashir's well known senior advisor, former state representative Rocky Atkins, told the Kentucky Lantern he, quote, still has fuel in the tank for a future run for public office.
