"2028 Democratic Contenders Must Rally Behind Biden in 2024 to Secure Nomination"

Potential Democratic contenders for the 2028 presidential nomination are currently focused on boosting President Joe Biden's re-election in 2024 while carefully positioning themselves for future campaigns. Democrats like California Governor Gavin Newsom are trying to sell Biden's record while also avoiding the perception of self-promotion. Biden aides are urging these potential candidates to actively support the president's campaign in order to gain support for their own future ambitions. Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, and Arizona Senator Mark Kelly have the opportunity to help Biden while also bolstering their own chances for a future nomination. Vice President Kamala Harris is expected to play a significant role in the re-election campaign, particularly in mobilizing key Democratic voting blocs. Other potential contenders, such as Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and soon-to-depart infrastructure coordinator Mitch Landrieu, are also making strategic moves to position themselves for future campaigns.
