11. After Trump's first term
Sat May 24, 2025, 11:27 PM

The nation wanted some sort of normal and Biden did fill that void. He was the exact person we needed at the time, as the nation was reeling under Trump’s disastrous COVID non response.

But in ’28 democrats will be going against Vance or Hawley or another candidate much younger than Trump.

Democrats will need someone that has proven they can win demographics that democrats have been hemorrhaging. I wouldn’t rule a minority out necessarily, but regardless of race or anything else, they need to have broad appeal.

Picking a senator is also problematic given the margins as they are. I would lean toward a governor myself. Shapiro and Beshear first come to mind but there are others out there.
