It is very likely that JD Vance will be the Republican candidate for President in 2028. The Democrat candidate field is a lot more complicated. To name a few possible candidates, I expect to see Gavin Newsom, Mark Kelly, and Josh Shapiro. However, there is someone else quietly making moves who would be a much more viable candidate.
On Sunday, Hot Air reported the following:
One month later, another survey by the Journal showed that people are losing faith that they will achieve the American dream in their lifetime — and worse, they fear it will even be further out of reach for their children and grandchildren. This sentiment should concern leaders in both parties but in particular the Democrats, who have bottomed out with appealing to the middle-class voter.
No Democrat cringes more at those stats than former Illinois congressman, White House Chief of Staff and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel. Twenty years ago, he led the Democrats’ takeover of the House, and he is widely rumored to be considering a run for his party’s nomination for president in 2028.
Many smart Republicans will tell you privately that of all the folks throwing their name around as possible contenders, it is Emanuel, a brilliant political animal and tactician, whom they fear the most. Why?
Well, there is likely an entire generation of Democrats and journalists who might not know this, but his 2006 midterm election strategy of picking centrist candidates to run for the House in states such as Pennsylvania, Ohio and Tennessee in Republican-leaning districts gave his party the gavel for the first time in a dozen years.
Emanuel said in our interview that the survey numbers from the Journal told him a few important things but one above all: that Democrats really need to start addressing that it is unacceptable for the American dream to be inaccessible to so many.
Rahm Emanuel is a political force to be reckoned with. He is quietly preparing a path to the Democrat nomination for President. He is presenting himself as less radical than the other candidates and attempting to bring the Democrats who have defected to President Trump and Vice-President Vance back into the party. Actually, he is as radical as anyone in the current Democrat Party. Remember, he was a major player in the Obama administration that laid the foundation for a lot of the problems we have now–he was part of the group that enabled the government takeover of healthcare. He will bring back the days of racial division and unequal justice. Be aware that he is on the hunt for the nomination.
