"We Can't Risk Another Loss. White Hetero Male": People Are Sharing Who They Are Most Likely To Vote For In 2028

There are two major questions that people regularly ask since Donald Trump was elected for the second (and, please, God, hopefully last) time. The first is, “WHY???!?!?!?!?!!?!?!? WHEN WILL THE SUFFERING END????” The second — who’s next? Person in a cowboy hat speaks at an event with people in suits and hats behind them

Sure, the presidential election is still years away, but that hasn’t stopped the people of the internet from discussing which Democrat has the best shot of bagging the presidency in 2028. U.S. Capitol building with the American flag waving in the foreground under a cloudy sky

“Everyone trying to write Andy Beshear off needs to look him up. It’s not what you think. He’s anti-MAGA, anti-billionaires, pro-LBGT, and TRULY cares about every human regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, etc. He’s unlike anything we’ve seen in a long time. Maybe a mix of Bill Clinton, on the Southern charm and likability, and Obama, on the knowledge and capability to TRULY lead.”

“I think Andy Beshear would be the best shot. And maybe he takes Buttigieg as his VP? Either way, as long as there’s a primary.”

2. “Mark Kelly is a great choice. He is loyal. Determined and smart. The guy has had an exemplary life and career.” A person in a suit with a striped tie is speaking or making an expression

“Not a politician but knows politics and policy. Has integrity and major name recognition. Eloquent speaker, but knows how to challenge people. Takes no shit. Cares about people.”

“I would make a convincing argument for Jon Stewart. He’s been right on a lot of the uncomfortable realities of the Democratic Party, has high name recognition, and is a very charismatic figure. If the American people can elect a man primarily known for reality TV, then they can take a quasi-political commentator. He would be the first Jewish presidential nominee as well.”

4. “Pritzker makes a lot of sense. He’s wealthy and isn’t afraid to be an attack dog. He’s from the Midwest. And he’s appealing to many factions of the party.” Person in a suit stands outdoors with an American flag in the background

“Of the current field, Pritzker and Beshear are the only ones I genuinely like and think have a chance nationally. I want someone with a pragmatic agenda that still brings us forward, who stands by their principles with integrity, able to communicate well with everyone without getting lost in the hyper-partisan culture war, and someone with a conscience who will do the right thing over shilling for donors and upholding an ineffective status quo.”

5. “I’d want AOC. We need someone young and progressive. A fighter and someone who actually stands for things.” Person speaking passionately at a podium with a microphone, gesturing with hand for emphasis, wearing a dark blazer

“I honestly think a Bernie/AOC ticket would be the way to go. A firm step away from the corporate party structure and towards the populist sentiment of the time.”

6. “My preference is Buttigieg.” A person with a beard in a suit jacket adorned with a small flag pin gazes thoughtfully to the side

“My dream team would be Pete Buttigieg and James Talarico ticket. These two men are very articulate, intelligent, and know how to speak with people. James knows his Bible and can appeal to the religious masses. I am very impressed with the two.”

7. “It’s going to be Newsom and whichever senator puts their name in. Either way, I predict the DNC is going to do their best to court moderate Republicans who are tired of Trump’s nonsense again.” A man in a suit stands between two American flags, glancing to the side. His expression is serious, suggesting a formal event or announcement

“Beshear or Newsom. We can’t risk another loss. White hetero male.”

—drnoncontributor

“Newsom and AOC. Newsom has, most importantly, fought back against fascism effectively, not just symbolically. Newsom is also a handsome white male who can debate well, which could theoretically get some conservatives and centrists on board who’ve gotten fucked by Trump’s economy.”
