I frankly don't think even Beshear could be elected to the Senate from Kentucky at this point. Even with his personal appeal, a presumably open seat, and possible anti-GOP midterm backlash the state's probably just too red. See Bullock, Steve; Bredesen, Phil; or from the other party Hogan, Larry.

That said his political career shouldn't necessarily end with his governorship. He could plausibly be a credible presidential candidate or VP nominee (Harris of course considered him), or end up somewhere else in the next Democratic administration.
Regarding your 2nd paragraph, yes, Beshear would be an effective choice in the next Democratic POTUS administration.
These days, it's much easier for Democrats in red states to be elected to statewide office instead of federal office with the exception of certain blue/swing districts in the respective states. I'd rather not risk Beshear as the only Democratic Senate Candidate if he is in fact being touted as such a candidate.

Still worth a shot. There’s no one stronger and who knows what the atmosphere will be like in two years.
