Pritzker is the obvious choice as a Trump fighter who has stood strong for trans rights. Newsom will have to clarify his stance if he wants to actually win the nomination but I doubt he and others of his ilk (the democracy is on the line folks) are thinking 2028 given the emergency now.
I don’t think it’s an insult to say they’ve all probably got 2028 on their minds. If they compete to be the toughest on Trump, great!
They aren't doing that. Most of them are lying low or saying nothing notable. Which belies the claims Newsom is "being an opportunist." The obvious politically safe thing is to hide until 2027 or avoid Trump head on. Evidence: look at 90% of them 😂
