It may not matter who they run, anyone NOT TRUMP is better to these people.

But in reality, which Dem is actually a viable Candidate to top the D ticket in 2028?

Lots of names being tossed around but seriously...

Below is a list of current "contenders"


Gavin Newsom
Josh Shapiro
Gretchen Whitmer
Pete Buttigieg
JB Pritzker
Andy Beshear
Wes Moore
Raphael Warnock

Booker?
The whore?
AOC?

That is a murders row of nobody...... and an ultimate list of team over country. If any of these people (any of them) take over and also have a Dem majority in the house and Senate... we are in deep shitte.

Is there a sane one on the bunch.... is there anyone else that might emerge from nowhere to stabilize this?

Democrats found a lot of answers in 2026. So we’ll see.

So far, so good.

Well, if people actually did what Trump said, and pretended that he was on the ballot, he got his ass thoroughly stomped.

I thought Wes Moore could have been a solid candidate — until he fumbled on the question regarding, hypothetically, allowing his minor son to transition genders. Though he clarified, his initial answer was lame.

Might be moot, as Moore says he won't run. But the man has an impressive resume. He still might be a decent candidate if he runs.

No

My top choices are:

Pete Buttigieg
Jon Ossoff
Josh Shapiro
Mark Kelly
Gavin Newsom

I don't think Whitmer is planning on running. Likely more of a VP choice. I still think we're a couple cycles from electing a woman. And I hope Harris doesn't run.

And I'm pretty sure another under the radar candidate may emerge as well.

Democrats will never nominate a Jew, so little to fear on this front, but Rahm Emanuel would be very hard to beat.

All of them are miles ahead of JD Vance. Rubio would give them the most difficulty.

As has been mentioned in a couple other threads...if the dems can keep the momentum going in places like Texas, the GOP is in real trouble.

I respect Mark Kelly in many ways. But, man, he is so negative toward the Republicans. Mayor Pete is diplomatic and likable.

Interesting observation. I tend to agree, AM.
