This is part of why I expect it to be Harris. The 2028 rogue's gallery is stumping in New Hampshire like it's 2008 and she seems to be the only one smart enough to head down South.

hot take but the candidate who can best address the very pissed off mood of Southern Black voters about the attacks on their voting rights will be the 2028 nominee.

Wasn't she also the only one besides Biden who really did in 2020?

It also fuels my current feeling that if anyone can best her in that primary, it'll be Ossoff

His polling has him a bit too far behind for me to think it's super likely, but I think he's top tier VP material. Especially if Bottoms wins and can appoint his successor in the Senate.

Here's the thing about being the white grievance populist candidate. In the Democratic primaries, the best case scenario you can hope for is that the rainbow coalition candidate so thoroughly clears the field that you are the only other candidate, and you will still lose by twelve points to them.

Still time and time again candidates are certain they can win without a single olive branch to Black voters, so they completely ignore the South for months and then lose their minds when they get buried in the delegate count.

I have no clue who it’s gonna be in 2028, but a lot of people seem to be hoping that Jon Ossoff will be the next Obama. The problem is, I don’t entirely know if that’s something you can replicate.

I would say the two Georgia Senators are on the very short "realistically if somehow its not Harris" list because well they are already in the South
