Beshear, who is also heading up the Democratic Governors Association this year, offered his take on the divides in his party, which some establishment candidates fear could hamper Democrats' chances in the midterms.
The governor told reporters he believes there is plenty of room in the party for different views. Beshear pointed to affordability and authenticity as driving factors in the turnout trends.
"I believe that people are winning from across the spectrum when they give voice to these concerns and do it passionately show people that they are going to work harder than anybody else that's in that race at trying to address it," Beshear said. "I don't necessarily think it's the proposed solutions that are getting the support, but the authentic belief, that that person cares enough to go to battle, to go to war for you and your family and to help make things less expensive."
Republicans have seized on the split between the centrist and progressive wings of the party, casting the latter as communists — a label Beshear described as a scare tactic that is not true.
The governor said the country needs practical solutions and all voices should be at the table.
