Who should Democrats nominate for president in 2028? I ranked nearly 30 possible Democratic presidential candidates from D Tier all the way to S Tier.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Gavin Newsom, Kamala Harris, Pete Buttigieg, Josh Shapiro, Jon Ossoff, Raphael Warnock, Gretchen Whitmer, JB Pritzker, Wes Moore, Andy Beshear, Mark Kelly, Ro Khanna and plenty more are already being discussed as possible 2028 Democratic presidential contenders.
In this video, I break down who I think could actually build a national campaign, raise the money, survive a Democratic primary and eventually compete for the presidency.
Some of these rankings probably won't make everyone happy.
I think AOC could be the person to beat if she runs. Gavin Newsom may have peaked too early. Kamala Harris belongs in the top tier because of her existing political infrastructure, but I have major questions about whether Democratic voters would nominate her again. Pete Buttigieg may be the best political messenger in the field. And several candidates currently getting attention don't belong anywhere near the top of my list.
Who am I ranking too high? Who am I ranking too low?
