Politico: “For years, the run-up to the presidential primary has been marked by a wink-wink approach — defined by intense behind-the-scenes preparations and a public coyness about national ambitions.”
“But the days of the shadow primary are giving way to a franker, more overt set of potential 2028 presidential primary candidates, many of whom are bluntly acknowledging they’re taking a serious look at running — two and a half years out.”
