FRANKFORT, Ky.—Gov. Andy Beshear, the unwavering Democrat who has repeatedly won in Trump country, says some in his party need to talk more like “normal human beings.”

Too often, he said, he hears “advocacy speak” from Democrats, saying things like “substance-use disorder” instead of addiction, “food insecurity” instead of hunger and “justice-involved population” instead of inmates.
