NBC’s Seth Meyers’s Tuesday interview with Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear could have been a case study in how the late night comedians conduct interviews with Democratic politicians. First, the Late Night host asked some softball questions about podcasting and Gen Z slang and then followed up with a strategy planning session to help Democrats win again.

After Beshear affirmed he has, Meyers turned to more pressing matters, “You won by one percent your first time out and then five percent your next time out. This is a state that Donald Trump carried by 30 percent? Is that about right?... So I think everybody maybe is looking to you to ask this question of what is the secret? And what would you say is the best advice you give to them?”
Beshear responded by giving his party three suggestions. First, “make sure you're spending that 80 percent of your time on people's everyday needs. If people don't believe they have a job that can support their family, pay the grocery bill, or maybe even take their family on vacation every once in a while, they'll vote for anybody that they truly believe is fighting for them.”
