I agree with all of those except Pete. Disaster at DOT as @Orangeburst said, doesn't have AA support as @Rickyvol77 said, and his background as a McKinsey consultant hurt him too when he ran the first time.I think the major players for democrats run fir potus will include Jon Ossoff, Andy Beshear, Pete B. I just think(hope) America is tired of ultra wealthy senile old men.

I think another guy to watch out for, not in 2028 but probably later, is this James Talarico. He will probably scare off more secular Dems, but the class rhetoric is appealing and he's a very effective communicator. His problem is that he's going down the Wendy Davis/Beto route of trying to win a statewide office in Texas as a Dem, and that hasn't been good for future political careers there. He, also like Beto, tries too much to be an Obama clone at times in terms of how he speaks/delivery. Pete does that too.
People who pay attention and vote in the primaries do. There was a bunch of negative transportation-related stuff that got media attention during his time there (the 2022 flight cancellations, Norfolk Southern train wreck, Baltimore bridge collapse) that even if it wasn't directly his or DOT's fault, it looked bad. If he won the nomination, no, it probably wouldn't matter in the general unless an October surprise scandal was discovered or something.I do like the way Talarico communicates and I would support him, I don't know that he has the star power yet.
As.for Pete I don't think a lot of people follow what happens inthe DOT.

You must not be aware how politics work...Well, bud, the race is a long way off.

The Dem Leadership have decided they want Newsome as their Presidential candidate and some mix of Talarico/Beshear/Shapiro as VP because they think they need someone who is rich, white, straight, fake Christian and well-known to offset how bad they lost all normal males last election
However their problem is the anti-Jew/DSA faction won't accept Shapiro and see Newsome as too pro-Israel, and the black faction (including Clyburn in SC) won't vote for them because they want Kamala to run again with AOC as a VP.
So the Dem Leadership is doing everything they can to minimize the Kamala/AOC/Crockett types to clear them out of the way (see Colbert this week)
Their internal polling is scaring the sh*t out of them and their fundraising except for Hoffman/Soros has decreased a lot after ActBlue/NGO money laundering dried up
I agree about nominating old people, but there’s nothing about Ossoff that’s particularly POTUS-worthy. He’ll have a dogfight just to retain his seat.I think the major players for democrats run for potus will include Jon Ossoff, Andy Beshear, Pete B. I just think(hope) America is tired of ultra wealthy senile old men.
This country is still not ready for a woman to be President. Simple fact. Neither Hillary nor Kamala could beat as sorry a person/candidate as Trump and that says it all. A ticket of Kamala/AOC would get obliterated and won’t happen. There are several D’s that I’d put in there before Newsome that could compete.You must not be aware how politics work...
