Democratic 2028 hopefuls should start campaigning now instead of waiting
Put the target on your back. All Democrats who are even remotely thinking of running for president in 2028 must throw their hats into the ring now. There is no need to wait until the last minute, teasing a run until 2027. If democracy is truly at stake, as every Democrat feels it is, then you need to start fighting now.
We have seen a remarkable amount of inaction from the Democratic leadership in Washington. The hours-long speeches that really don’t do anything, TikTok dances and endless fundraising without anything to show for it has left the Democrats polling worse than President Trump. And Trump is not polling well at all.
The Democratic establishment has continually projected a weak and ineffective aura, and voters have noticed. Even with the unpopularity of Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill,” anger over his immigration actions, and uncertainty over tariffs and Russia, the Democrats are not guaranteed to have a big swing in the midterms.
We have seen some Democrats play at taking the fight to Trump but still waffle when it comes to directly challenging........
