Democrats openly pay attention to the 2028 presidential campaign, continuing tradition

Are there any Democrats running for president there? Of course it doesn't seem like that.

In a day, potential candidates will even deny considering this.

I remember interviewing Marco Rubio in the Senate corridor to see if he might be running in 2016. He even denied this. I know that's a bull. He knew it was a bull. Of course, he ran away-lost to Donald Trump.

Just like candidates or office holders say they never look at polls, or provide some bromide on the only way to polls is Election Day. Hogwash. They all look at polls, be instability, or talk to consultants who are looking at the survey.

Trump's second semester is less than 4 months, and DEMS is already paying attention to the 2028 competition

But now it is occupying a new dynamic that may summarize: Hell Yes, I'm running!

I mean, focus on a mandatory nod in the middle of next year. However, there is no longer Kabuki dance that pretends to be lacking in interest.

There is a good work in The New York Times.

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear told reporters he was "considering" the White House run. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz said if he was "requested for service" - by whom? - He will do "anything that needs to." Sorry, what about Walz's big scam with Kamala's running mate lifting him to top?

Ruben Gallego, of Arizona, served as a senator for about 12 minutes, said he was waiting for his third child to be born, but added: "The baby gets older."

Many of these White Houses don’t have name recognition, meaning they aren’t running, which can at least lead to a cable news contract.

Pete Buttigieg was bitten once by a bug and apparently running again, but the former transport secretary was playing coy - "I'm not running for anything now" - right - but it's nice to hear from those who support him.

My favorite quote comes from Gallego, who told NBC: "Has it ever thought about it?" I'm an elected official. This goes all over my mind. ”

Democrats are taking action early to line up for presidential bids in 2028

Forecasters calculated at least 19 potential competitors. Many of them won't go to Iowa. Or because their polls are too low to enter the debate stage. Or forced to quit the game when their fundraising is dry.

The media openly replaced this great mention, which in turn succumbed to social media and podcasts. But the old old media (now considered a serious insult) still have a chance to do the initial coverage.

Reporting campaigns is expensive. Media organizations are charged with riding Air Force One or private charter. Their bosses have to pay for food and accommodation for several days. Some expense account dinners are legendary.

But it's very interesting, and it's a game for young people to a large extent. They didn't sit in some air-conditioned studios. That's why you've read now 3.5 years before the next presidential election.
