Democrats Are Making Moves to Run for President in 2028

September 23, 2026 · 6:32 am ET · Leave a Comment

“The 2028 presidential primaries are 16 months away, but Democrats are making moves to enter the race at a moment voters are desperate to find a winner,” the Washington Post reports.

”Former vice president Kamala Harris, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, former transportation secretary Pete Buttigieg, California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Rep. Ro Khanna are among the many Democrats eyed as potential presidential candidates.”

”Of course, none of them are openly committing to run yet. Presidential hopefuls often wait to publicly announce their plans to run for a host of personal and legal reasons. Sometimes they genuinely don’t make up their mind until after months of mulling the decision.”
