WATCH: DGA Chair Gov. Beshear on CNN: “The American People Won’t Be Bullied By This President” 

Friday, DGA Chair Governor Andy Beshear joined CNN to discuss how the country’s 24 Democratic governors are standing united against Donald Trump’s calls to “nationalize” elections.

WATCH:

“What [the Trump administration] wants to do is try to create fear. They want to try to silence the voices of our citizens. They want people that are… valid voters to think that they shouldn’t show up at the polls. But guess what? [Voters] are going to show up in droves [in 2026.] They see what’s going on. It’s anti-American. It is un-democratic. And people are going to stand up and turn out for the future of this country. What we saw last year in the elections of Abigail Spanberger and Mikie Sherrill by enormous margins, shows the American people are ready for change – and they won’t be bullied by this president or anybody else…

“The goal here is to suppress turnout, to make some people nervous that they shouldn’t go and vote. And again, that’s the most anti-democratic principle or move you could make. The bedrock of this country is our democracy and your right to vote. And I think it is so ironic that a president who continues to whine about losing a ‘rigged election’ – and I think it’s been fully litigated that that was a free and fair election – is now openly talking about rigging one in the future.”
