@ohio-guy i'll take any bets you want. i pick four woke socialists and you can have the field? it'll be fun.  i can take harris aoc stay at home pete and newsom.  you can have the field.  newsom and harris are already getting onthe socialism train.  starting the narrative now

I'm not really interested in betting on it, but I don't think either of those four will be the presidential nominee. We've seen what Harris can do in a primary and general election and I don't think Democratic leadership want any part in that anymore. I don't think Newsom can win a general election and the powers that be know that. AOC is just Dennis Kucinich with the advantage of better social media platforms. I could see Pete Buttigeig making things interesting and could even be a VP pick, but unfortunately I think being gay would be a liability in a general election, even in 2028. 

Other names to consider are John Ossoff and any number of the Democratic governors we've all mentioned here before. Those people are getting traction, but it's still too early to anoint anyone. I think any of those people would have the potential to win in a landslide. 

That said, 2020 is too far off to predict anything worth betting on. It's fun to speculate though.

Imagine thinking a white Jew and self described moderate like Ossoff or Shapiro will be the Dem nominee in 2028.

Agreed about keeping an eye on Ossoff.  If he wins his reelection bid, he's a star and immediately in the mix for '28. 

I'd also keep an eye on Wes Moore and Josh Shapiro. Mark Kelly, too.

We should know who some of the declarees are in about a year, though, right? I know a lot can happen, particularly post-mid-term elections, but it isn't as far away as we think.

It looks like Gavin has come down significantly, despite still having the highest probability (in the betting markets).

I'm with dbm, there is no way on earth the Democrats are going to run a moderate Jewish guy.

If he wins reelection in Georgia, he's a force to be reckoned with. He has already proven adept at campaign fundraising (he holds a massive cash advantage over his Republican challenger), and he's young, articulate, charismatic and fit.  Don't count him out.

There’s a reason Shapiro was not the pick for VP…same reason hampers Ossoff

A trans person has a better chance winning the GOP nomination than a Jewish man does winning the Democratic nomination.

@big-ryan what a platform.  the dem socialist party.  robin hood welfare defund and bail projects.  when you couldn't possibly think dems could be any worse than walz aoc harris they don't pivot they go deeper into woke insanity.  putting themselves out there that they are absolutely not the party of normal working people who want families and public safety.  we know the freaks will stay with the dems but i trust the weirdo academic geeks will as well

I think AOC and Harris will be battling it out for the nomination.  Newsom and Buttigieg are just too conservative for the current Dem base and Harris is already pivoting even further left.  It's gonna be fun to watch if nothing else. Mamdani runs the party now.

Buttigieg is gay and polls terrible with black voters.  He's not winning.  Harris or Newsom is the most the likely candidate with AOC close behind.

Pritzker is gonna go full Brandon Johnson.  He knows how insane Dem voters are.  Every Dem will now move to the radical left.  So radical it will be hard to fathom even for a Dem.  Just watch.

What will his answer be if asked about Palestine? If Dems get even a whiff of pro-Israel in his response he’ll be cooked…
