Early Predictions 2028: AOC, Whitmer, Newsome or …?

He has too many serious negatives:
1. He had an affair with his deputy chief of staff/friend/campaign manager’s wife. At the time Newsom was married to Kimberly Guifoyle (the same person who was Trump Jr.’s ex-fiancé , on Fox News, and now ambassador to Greece).

2. He is the king of “Rules for Thee But Not for Me”. Most CA were fine at first with the lock downs but then pictures surfaced of Newsom eating in a fancy restaurant with lobbyists for a birthday party maskless in Napa while telling everyone else to avoid gatherings and closing restaurants.

3. While he was busy with lobbyists, the state Employment Development Department had been mistakenly paying out unemployment benefits to convicted murderers, and other state prisoners and local jail inmates.By Monday, state investigators had identified $400 million paid on roughly 21,000 unemployment benefit claims improperly filed in the names of California prisoners.

This is just the start. There are so many others that other Californians can detail- nepo baby, fudges the truth then gets caught, super ultra progressive policies when mayor of SF and gov but now flip flopped back since he wants to run for President.

And most importantly CA is a solidly blue state, there is no point in having a politician from CA run for President. We need somebody from a swing state.

Newsome is very Trump-y though. From the affairs to the sociopathic, rich boy bully vibes. I think that can work because Americans clearly like that.

Dems have a lot of people who are really good talkers - Buttigeig, Pritzker, Shapiro, Crockett - they are good at framing issues for the everyday American. One way or another we need to get a tiger team of folks like that to help reshape messaging for the Dems as a whole.

Crockett? You've got to be kidding me.

You might not like the way she communicates, but other people do, and she’s a rocket surgeon compared to anyone in the current administration.

"Rocket surgeon" ....the jokes just write themselves, folks.

She's an educated, intelligent, witty, and badass woman who doesn't take sh--. Her role now isn't her first foray into politics. So mock her if you want but you'll be sorry.

BTW, you're so comfortable hurling insults at her, what's your background?

I would love to see Jasmine Crockett run for president! Please, DNC, anoint her as your next candidate. Give the people what they want!

Jasmine’s staff is speaking out. She’s treats them like trash. She burns through her workers faster than Kamala. Her constituents are not happy with her either.

She called The Atlantic which was doing a profile of her, mad that they didn't ask her before calling other people in Congress to get their opinion of her. She said she was canceling the profile.

It should be Kamala Harris. Came close to beating Trump, and deserves a fair chance where she is calling the shots.

His Party Reeling, a Democratic Senator Tries a Message of Hope in Iowa
Senator Ruben Gallego of Arizona won his seat last year by outperforming national Democrats among Hispanic voters and men. He wants the party to listen to his message as it regroups.

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/10/us/politics/senator-gallego-democrats-iowa.html

Since outperforming his party in Arizona and winning a heavily contested Senate seat last year, Ruben Gallego has pushed national Democrats worried about their electoral futures to absorb his advice: Reach beyond the voters you’re comfortable with and make inroads with the ones you’ve left behind.

With Congress in its August recess and his calendar open, he has followed his own guidance, taking his message to Iowa, where members of his party have lost considerable ground.

A Marine veteran who spent 10 years in the House before winning his Senate race, Mr. Gallego, a 45-year-old Democrat, outperformed his party’s presidential ticket in Arizona last year among key groups that it struggled with, particularly Hispanic voters and men.

To hear Mr. Gallego tell it, his trip was meant to spread the lessons of his victory with Iowa Democrats, who have watched their state shift from political battleground to Republican stronghold but are hoping to pick up seats in next year’s midterm elections.

Then he stood in front of a favorable crowd of about 200 Democrats receptive to his attacks against the Trump administration and the bill to cut taxes and spending that Republicans passed this year.

Nope. Sorry but he has pigeon-holed himself as a "Hispanic-focused" candidate and that does not bode well for the majority of American voters nationwide. Nice enough guy with solid ideas but IMO he won't have mass appeal.

Rahm says men can’t be women, and he’s going into witness protection for saying so.

She was rejected in 2020 . She is awful.

I think Shapiro would be good but he’s Jewish and well we know how democrats feel about Jews

Good luck to him. Van Jones tried talking sense to the Party but they did not listen. The Party believes it knows better than its supporters about what their supporters need and want. Anyone who disagrees is silenced and gets us MAGA. The not good news for the Party is that MAGA ai also eating its own people.
