I like Harris and I supported her in 2020 as well as 2024, but I don't think she should run again in 2028 - I just don't see that going anywhere.

I love AOC! I think she's awesome and has a bright future. I also don't see Middle America voting for her in a national election, at least not yet. The good news is I also think she's smart enough to know it. Speaker Ocasio-Cortez has a nice ring to it, though.

I also like Beshear, but I just don't think he has that "it" factor.

Kelly? Zzzzzz....

Shapiro strikes me a lot like Newson seems to strike some of the commenters in this thread - kinda oily, in it only for himself. But maybe that's just me. However, I also think his supporters grossly underestimate how PO'd the Democratic base is at Israel right now, which doesn't help him.

Buttigieg would be an amazing running mate, filling the traditional attack dog role in anyone's campaign. Unfortunately, like AOC, I don't see Middle America voting for him at the top of the ticket.

I don't really know enough about the other figures people have mentioned to have an opinion.

my super conservative, homophobic ( as in she would devastated if anyone in her own family was gay, would think was a tragedy in any of her friends families ) loves Buttigieg , she still thinks its wierd and "unnatural" but she is old school enough to know hat all of these ppl are doing some pretty shady stuff so being a young dad married to another man seems pretty tame and not enough to discourage in the VP position. Grewsome and Pete maybe could pull it off. against Vance certainly, especially if trump was too frail to stump.

I'm fairly conservative but would vote for Buttigieg or Beshear.. I'd never vote for AOC.

Most conservative leaning independents and dems (particularly Men) would not vote for Buttigieg. It’s sad to say it aloud, but they just wouldn’t. That same group would also not vote for AOC — mostly because she is too far left. She may be the poster child of far left actually.

You need to make inroads with independents and centrists to have any shot at winning in 2028, and Newsome is the best positioned for that right now.

What is the evidence Newsom would win independents and centrists? He has a creepy look.

So independents and centrists avoid creepy looks? They broke for the two creeps in the White House now. One of them is orange and the other wears eyeliner and humps sofas. Just saying…

Newsom looks like a spray-tanned prissy guy .

As opposed to the two fat guys currently in office?

Smart money is on the winning ticket:

What an awesome, winning ticket.

AOC is a moron who appeals to other morons

AOC is too far left to win a national election

Newson-Buttigieg is my prediction.

How so? Dismantling ICE is pretty obviously a sensible decision now. It’s all criminals in masks.

I'd like it to be something like Beshear - Newsome or Beshear - Shapiro.

Unfortunately, too much risk nominating a woman, of any race.

If anyone paid attention, the Amish started voting in 2024, but when they were interviewed they didn't have much love for Trump but basically said their religion won't allow them to vote for a woman.

She will certainly emerge as the front runner in 2028.
