肯塔基州州长安迪·贝希尔周六在JD·万斯（JD Vance）的家乡俄亥俄州发表讲话，猛烈抨击这位副总统，质疑其阿巴拉契亚根源，并告诉选民他们“值得更好的选择”。
贝希尔被视为民主党冉冉升起的新星，并被认为是2028年总统候选人的潜在人选。他的这番言论是在俄亥俄州米德尔敦巴特勒县民主党举办的春季晚宴上发表的。
这位连任两届的民主党州长此前曾与同样被视为2028年可能候选人的万斯发生争执。周六，贝希尔再次强调了他过去对万斯的批评，包括称副总统“并非来自阿巴拉契亚”。
贝希尔在讲话中提到《乡巴佬的悲歌》（Hillbilly Elegy）时说：“（万斯）写了一整本书，贩卖他对我所在州人民的陈腐刻板印象，称那些开采了为工业革命提供动力、帮助我们赢得两次世界大战的煤炭的人们是懒惰的。”他将这本书描述为“贫困旅游”的作品。
“俄亥俄州应该有一位远胜于（JD·万斯）的参议员，我们所有人都应该有一位更好的副总统。”贝希尔说道。
万斯出生并成长于俄亥俄州，但青年时期的夏天会在肯塔基州东部度过。《乡巴佬的悲歌》是一本回忆录，试图解释美国白人工薪阶层的不满情绪，该书在2016年唐纳德·特朗普赢得锈带州后引起轰动。
副总统的新闻秘书泰勒·范柯克（Taylor Van Kirk）向《纽约时报》暗示，贝希尔只是在寻求曝光。
“每次安迪·贝希尔为了吸引关注而抨击副总统时，最终只会自取其辱，但也许这正是他想要的？”范柯克在一份声明中表示。
在领导该州度过新冠疫情、2021年致命龙卷风以及2022年灾难性洪水之后，贝希尔在2024年被认为是卡玛拉·哈里斯（Kamala Harris）副总统候选人的可能人选。过去一年，他通过推出播客和更频繁地出现在有线电视新闻节目中提升知名度。

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear, speaking in JD Vance’s home state of Ohio on Saturday, tore into the vice president, questioning his Appalachian roots and telling voters they “deserve better.”
The comments from Beshear — who is viewed as a rising star in the Democratic Party and has been floated as a potential 2028 presidential contender — came during remarks at a spring gala hosted by the Butler County Democratic Party in Middletown, Ohio.
The two-term Democratic governor has previously feuded with Vance, who is also considered a likely 2028 candidate. Beshear doubled down on his past criticisms of Vance on Saturday, including by saying the vice president “ain’t from Appalachia.”
“(Vance) wrote an entire book that trafficked his tired stereotypes about the people in my state, called the people who mined the coal that power the Industrial Revolution, helped us to win two world wars, he called them lazy,” Beshear said, referring to “Hillbilly Elegy,” which the governor described as a work of “poverty tourism.”
“Ohio deserved a much better senator than (JD Vance), and we all deserve a much better vice president,” Beshear said.
Vance was born and raised in Ohio but spent summers in his youth in eastern Kentucky. “Hillbilly Elegy,” a memoir that also attempts to explain the disaffection of White, working-class Americans, caused a sensation after Donald Trump won the Rust Belt states in 2016.
The vice president’s press secretary, Taylor Van Kirk, suggested to The New York Times that Beshear was just after publicity.
“Every time Andy Beshear attacks the vice president to try to get himself publicity, he ends up humiliating himself in the process, but maybe that’s something he’s into?” Van Kirk said in a statement.
After making headlines for his leadership of the state through the Covid-19 pandemic, deadly tornadoes in 2021 and catastrophic flooding in 2022, Beshear was floated as a possible vice-presidential candidate for Kamala Harris in 2024. He worked to elevate his profile in the last year, launching a podcast and making more frequent cable news appearances.
