Trial Balloon · Ep. 190: Trump Is Everywhere

Democrats Launch Remake of the 2028 Calendar

January 15, 2026 · 2:10 pm ET · Leave a Comment

Michael Scherer: “Now the Democratic Party is trying to decide what type of voters it wants to shape its attempt to regain the White House in 2028. Three years after then-President Biden effectively eliminated the Democratic nominating competition by reordering early contests in his favor, the party’s Rules and Bylaws Committee has invited all 57 states and territories to apply by tomorrow for pole position in the reshuffled 2028 calendar.”

“The result, expected to be announced later this year, will reset the playing field for Democratic aspirants to the world’s most powerful job—and likely anger those who feel cut out.”
