Some express disappointment over Kentucky’s Andy Beshear

Robert Kahne, delegate to the Democratic National Convention, posted saying he hoped for Beshear, but has been a “big fan” of Walz since 2018. X user Emma Mont also posted with a “Toy Story” meme in support of the Kentucky governor.

I wish it were Andy but if it’s not him I’m glad it’s Walz. I’ve been a big fan since he won in 2018 by 10 points after HRC almost lost Minnesota

Thank you, @AndyBeshearKY thank you for shining on the national stage. Thank you for adding some swagger to this VEEP process. You did us proud. Onward! Together! Don’t sleep on Kentucky, y’all.

Keith Boykin, former White House aide and National Black Justice Coalition co-founder, said he originally wanted Beshear for VP, but is happy with Harris’ pick.

I’m so happy Kamala Harris picked Tim Walz! Originally I wanted Beshear, but Walz won me over. Teacher. Veteran. Popular with unions. Good attack dog. Funny on the stump. Knows rural America. And he’s a progressive who doesn’t come across as threatening.pic.twitter.com/m9WivQfxxW
