The Democrats’ 2028 podcast primary is well underway.
From Govs. Gavin Newsom of California, Andy Beshear of Kentucky and Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan to former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, potential presidential contenders are following the lead of President Donald Trump, who frequently went on podcasts appealing to younger men during his 2024 campaign.
Liberal strategists acknowledge Trump showed that Democratic candidates need to master the podcast space, which is typically looser and more freewheeling than a press conference or a traditional media interview.
I keep hoping Democrats will come to their senses and stop ignoring AOC and how her rallies are filling football stadiums in red states, but at the end of the day, they don’t care about winning. They care about enriching themselves no matter who wins.
Sadly the DNC see her as opposition to their grand plan to court “centrists” and not a path forward.
Narrator: they did not come to their senses
Maybe AOC and Bernie should really make their own party, at some point it makes no sense to continue to try to work with democrats if all they do is sabotage them.
