Andy Beshear - KY Senate? [View all]

As much as I love DU, I'm not constantly on here reviewing every post, and I'm not incredibly adept at searching for specific items; all that to say, forgive me if this is a repeat post/thought.

Governor Andy Beshear is one of the MOST popular Governors in the country by any measure, which is FASCINATING considering how red KY is politically. Is there a reason he did not file to run for the US Senate (for McConnell's seat)? OR, is there a chance he may do so in a later upcoming election (Rand Paul's seat in 2028)? Or have Presidential aspirations vacated that possibility?

I just think that with the above information, he would be THE BEST CHANCE for us to flip a Senate seat in KY. Maybe the ONLY chance? Just curious what others may think.
