On a recent CNN segment, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear, a Democrat, seemed to be channeling his inner therapist as he urged President Joe Biden and the White House to share more about the President’s health and his performance in the recent debate. Beshear likened inquiring about Biden’s well-being to checking in on a friend who seems “a little off.” It seems like Beshear wants Biden to open up and share like they’re about to have a heart-to-heart over sweet tea on the porch.
When the host, Pamela Brown, prodded further about the White House’s transparency before and after the debate, Beshear continued to push for more information. He suggested that asking about Biden’s health is simply a cultural norm in the South, where people tend to overshare about their well-being. It’s like asking your neighbor how they’ve been and getting a detailed account of their recent doctor’s appointments in return.

Beshear’s insistence on the White House being more forthcoming can come off as a bit nosy, but hey, in the South, it’s all about that neighborly concern. He stressed that it’s not an attack on the President or his team, but rather a call for a more direct and transparent line of communication. Perhaps Beshear believes that if Biden just spills the beans about his health, the American people will respond positively and feel more connected to him. It’s like being at a family reunion and your aunt starts oversharing about her latest medical procedures – you might not have asked, but now you know more than you ever wanted to.
In the world of Southern hospitality and nosy neighbors, Beshear’s plea for Biden to open up about his well-being may seem like a well-intentioned gesture. Whether Biden takes this advice and starts sharing more about his health remains to be seen, but if he suddenly starts divulging the details of his breakfast menu during press briefings, we’ll know who to thank.
