Democrats Face Uncertain Future with No Clear 2028 Presidential Contender
Following recent electoral losses, Democrats lack a frontrunner for the next presidential race and hold no federal power.
- Democrats have no clear heir apparent for the 2028 presidential nomination, marking a rare situation since the early 1990s.
- Recent elections resulted in Democrats losing the Senate and likely continuing without a majority in the House.
- President Biden's approval rating is at a historic low for a departing Democratic president, comparable to Jimmy Carter in 1980.
- This is one of the few times in 90 years that Democrats do not control the White House or any chamber of Congress.
- Some potential Democratic candidates for 2028 include Governors Gavin Newsom, Gretchen Whitmer, Josh Shapiro, and JB Pritzker.
