Here are a few:

First Female President (Multiple Interesting Possibilities)

First Gay President (Mayor Pete)

Boring White Guy, Little Known Midwestern State Governor, Attempt to Appeal to Centrist and Men who stopped voting for Democrats (Beshear, Shapiro, etc.)

Hard-charging realist a la Rahm Emanuel, here to crack some heads and get Dems back on track

Young Up-and-Coming Unknown (Wesley Moore)

Nepo Baby (Chelsea Clinton, Hunter Biden, Ella Emhoff, etc.) Name recognition matters. A lot.

Squad Leader (AOC)

Evil Emperor (Gavin Newsom)

Which TYPE(S) would be most viable?

A Wesley Moore/Gretchen Whitmer ticket can win.

You must not live in Maryland. Wes Moore is good looking and articulate but unfortunately there’s not much else there other than his unfortunate habit of embellishing his backstory.

Wes Moore has the profile to be a viable candidate. Maybe not in 2028, but definitely in 2032.

As a Marylander, I would rather set myself on fire than to vote for Wes Moore. He is an empty suit. If you want your child sitting in a classroom with criminals with ankle bracelets, then he is your guy. Governor Moore talks tough but is soft on crime and other crucial issues concerning Maryland.

A Republican in deep blue Maryland.

Bless your heart.

Shapiro/ Whitmer ticket for the Dems

PA + MI = ballgame

Not sure if Newsom can win either one at the top of the ticket.

In the present political climate no POC, make it female.could be elected President or Vice President. Trump has made racism and misogyny acceptable again.

We had a very popular Republican governor from 2015-2023 dipsh!t. Wes Moore has been an objectively terrible governor.

I could see Mark Kelly. Bald or not he does have command presence. And by that time he will have beaten Kegsbreath into humiliation.

Follow Warren's advice from the link below and ignore any narratives pushed by the the DNC and their mega-donors that attempt to sway favor towards the candidates who will prioritize donor interests like we saw in 2020. Of course the mega-donors don't want a populist president with an agenda to close the wealth divide but that's the candidate who will fair best in the general election and that's the candidate who will best serve to the interests of all Americans. We don't need the billions of dollars donated in recent elections. We need an elite leader who isn't obligated to reciprocate to wealthy donors.

I don’t think the bald thing is that bad. Dwight D Eisenhower was almost bald, he was holding on to that last bit of hair for dear life.

I could see a Kelly/AOC ticket. Someone with more experience to temper someone with ideas that are just premature.
