Not many 22-year-olds find themselves on national television, much less as the face of a political issue in a presidential campaign ad.

But Hadley Duvall, an Owensboro native who recently graduated from Midway University with a degree in clinical psychology, has found herself in that exact position.

The former Biden-Harris campaign released a minute-long ad called “Options,” which featured Duvall doing her makeup, sharing her story and explaining her thought process when Roe v. Wade was overturned.

Will Gov. Andy Beshear be VP to the VP?

Beshear has been making the rounds on the television circuit, potentially trying out to be Vice President Kamala Harris’ running mate in the 2024 presidential election.

Harris, who has gathered enough delegate endorsements to become the presumptive Democratic nominee, still has to decide who will be at her side during the next four months of campaigning.

Read about what he brings (or doesn't bring) to the table.

Will Gov. Andy Beshear be VP to the VP? What to know about the two-time Democratic Kentucky governor in a red state.

Gov. Andy Beshear says if the Harris campaign comes calling, he will “at least listen.”

Things are moving quickly after President Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 presidential race in an early Sunday afternoon post on social media. Shortly after, the president endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as his replacement on the top of the Democratic ticket.

Gov. Andy Beshear announced his endorsement of Harris on national television Monday morning.

Since talks of replacing Biden began, Beshear has been in the peripheral of the conversation. Some believe he is on Harris’ shortlist for vice presidential nominee if Harris finds herself at the top of the ticket, alongside North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro and Arizona Senator Mark Kelly.

Gov. Andy Beshear says if the Harris campaign comes calling to tap him as vice president, he will "at least listen."
