So what potential Democratic candidates are running in 2028?

[Vandelay]

I like Wes Moore, but with all of the entirety of the federal government being blood red, democrats will simply be controlled opposition.

Cataclysms are the only thing that makes wholesale change in society; war, assassinations, depressions, pandemics.

We're going to be stuck with this brand of politics for the next 20 years.

Good luck...

It'll be mid vs mid status quo, white male vs white male.

Country is cooked with bandaid fixes

Newsom will get heavy love from the Chinese because of what he did with Cali and his connection/visits to China, hosting Xi in San Francisco recently, etc.

That's it. Mid-Off.

 

[Coco Loco]

Gavin Newsome is the only one I can think of

 

[djthegreat88]

Tall white man that can talk. So probably Newsom

 

[UnQuantized]

Republicans are too powerful right now. Nobody will want to step up, they have to go back to basics and figure out their identity. I don't think this election is a one off, America expressed it's self loud and clear.

 

[RickyDiBiase]

Tall white man that can talk. So probably Newsom

So Mark Cuban

 

[Zero]

It won't be a woman. That much is set in stone.

 

[Drake's Tan]

AOC

He reminds me of cuomo for some reason so he'll probably have a scandal that DQs him before then lol

 

[Concerned Citizen]

It’s gonna be Shapiro and honestly he might be a little too “exotic” given that he’s Jewish. I can’t see Newsone successfully running since he’s from CA. I’d love to see Big Gretch get the nod cause she’s a soldier and would hopefully put Michigan back in play but she’s a woman. Mark Warner has a good chance since he’s just a run of the mill white guy. Just being honest.

 

[VertigoKnight]

You'll need someone who can actually counter republican talking points with some authority and mockery.

Newsom is great for that. But don't know how he'd play in certain states.

 

[Smalley Biggs]

I don't think Kamala being a woman is why she lost. I think any democrat would have lost.

That being said I don't think we'll be seeing another female candidate any time soon. So scratch out Big Gretch and AOC. Don't think we'll be seeing a gay dude or a non-christian either. Dems gonna have to get some Ws under their belt before they try to make history again. If we experience a financial crisis or major war under Trump the pendulum will swing back to the Dems as long as it's a straight white christian male.

Gavin Newsom is from California and has a lot of baggage in terms of his personal life. I think Wes Moore, Hakeem Jeffries, Pete Buttigiege, Ben Shapiro are the future core of the party going forward, who will be leader exactly we don't know. Big Gretch & AOC will be important parts of the party also, they are both competent, that can't be doubted but this election killed the idea of a Democrat Female President for a generation or two.

The first female president will likely be Republican. In the uk all three female Prime Minister's have been conservative and to the right of their own party.

Gavin Newsome is the future

If Trump can represent the republicans with all his baggage, Newsome can for the democrats. They gotta stop playing nice
