Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear was in Greenville this morning to speak at the annual South Carolina AFL-CIO convention as part of the AFL CIO “It’s Better in a Union” bus tour.
Beshear spoke out against President Trump’s agenda and recent actions during his speech, pushing for South Carolina to other states like Kentucky in pushing for union-supporting legislation.
“Right now, many Americans are struggling,” Beskhear said. “They’re struggling to pay the bills at the end of the week and at the end of the month, and this current Trump Administration is only making it harder.”
Beshear was also asked if his recent nationwide travels were in preparation for a 2028 presidential bid, to which he said his current goals lie elsewhere.
“I’m here in South Carolina this week for three reasons. The AFL invited me, the Georgetown Dems invited me and my son has a baseball tournament here at the end of the week in South Carolina.”
He explained that his travels to other states are primarily to support Democratic Governors and Governor candidates as well as promote Democratic legislative candidates to flip the US Senate and House to the left.
