10. Neither will be the nominee in 2028

I don’t think AOC will run…yet, but will hopefully run for Schumer’s seat in the senate.

Newsom is the loudest voice in the room at this point, but that isn’t going to get him through primary season all by itself.

He will probably get some big donations from Silicon Valley tech bros, but whether he can successfully compete for donors dollars with all the other contenders remains to be seen.

Although my favourite is Whitmer, the writing is clearly on the wall, and the Dems won’t nominate a woman or POC in 2028.

With that understanding, my sense is the odds favour Chris Murphy and Andy Beshear.
