Looking ahead to the 2028 election cycle, potential Jewish Democratic contenders whose names have appeared in political discussions include Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro and U.S. Ambassador to Japan Rahm Emanuel. Google AI. The NY Times was pushing hard for Shapiro to be Harris’ running mate in 2024. In addition the Governor of Illinois JB Pritzker looks to be positioning himself for a 2028 run as well.
Lieberman, Sanders and Bloomberg have all run and lost in the past but given the huge PR hit that Israel has taken over Gaza and the resulting Mamdani huge win in New York City you should expect a big push for a Jewish Democrat Presidential Nominee in 2028. At a very minimum expect one of the above to be Newsom’s VP nominee of the Democrat Party!
And that is all I’m going to say about that!
