Buttigieg presses retail-style campaign in South Carolina as 2028 bid looms

Pete Buttigieg visited South Carolina for a hands-on, retail-style push to test support for a possible 2028 White House bid, meeting voters and local officials in Orangeburg and framing his message around kitchen-table economics and democratic reform. He emphasized the link between economic concerns and a functioning political system while warning that efforts to weaken the Voting Rights Act threaten Black political power. The trip reflects a broader Democratic effort to cultivate support in early states as multiple potential candidates, including Gavin Newsom, Andy Beshear and Ro Khanna, weigh the field for 2028.

Maryland braces for mid-decade redistricting with August session

Maryland will hold an August special session to begin a potential mid-decade redraw of its congressional map, pursuing a state constitutional amendment that would empower lawmakers to adjust lines ahead of the 2028 elections if voters approve it; Gov. Wes Moore backs the move to protect fair representation amid federal Voting Rights Act challenges, though the plan faces political hurdles and diverges from earlier calls to redraw before 2026.

Massie Eyes 2028 Campaign After Trump-Backed Challenger Triumph

Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie filed FEC paperwork to run in 2028 after losing the GOP primary to Trump-backed challenger Ed Gallrein, saying he hasn’t decided which office to pursue but intends to raise funds to support his political operation. Trump publicly ridiculed Massie as a “loser,” while Massie suggested he’ll stay engaged in politics—potentially from outside or inside government—after a farm‑life breather and a vow to keep fighting Washington’s battles.

He’s focused on his current duties, while Rubio remains a high-profile ally and has said he wouldn’t run against Vance.

CPAC's Post-Trump Debate: Vance Tops Rubio for 2028 Nominee

At CPAC 2026 in Grapevine, Texas, JD Vance won the conference straw poll for the 2028 GOP nomination with 53% of votes, edging Marco Rubio at 35%. The non-scientific poll, which drew about 1,600 attendees, occurred without Trump, highlighting a budding intra‑party contest over the post‑Trump path. Rubio remains a leading figure in diplomacy and foreign policy for the administration, while Vance’s hawkish past and personal backstory keep him a strong Carson-like contender; some younger conservatives leaned toward Rubio, signaling shifting but unsettled dynamics as the GOP maps its future.

Democratic 2028 hopefuls steer away from AIPAC as Israel debate heats up

Democrats eyeing the 2028 White House bid are distancing themselves from AIPAC as liberal voters grow wary of Israel policy; Cory Booker has sworn off AIPAC money, Gavin Newsom says he never took it, and Ruben Gallego vows not to accept it, among others who have dodged the group or criticized its influence. AIPAC and its allies push back, arguing it will still back pro-Israel voices, but the retreat signals a potential primary flashpoint as Israel and Gaza policy reshapes the Democratic field.

Democratic Governors Mobilize to Counter Trump's Policies

Democratic governors are preparing to resist President-elect Trump's administration by vowing to protect freedoms in their states and challenging controversial proposals. Governors like California's Gavin Newsom and Massachusetts' Maura Healey have pledged to oppose policies such as mass deportations. This resistance echoes the opposition seen during Trump's first term and highlights the role of Democratic governors as key opponents, especially with a Republican-controlled Congress. The situation also positions these governors as potential contenders for the 2028 presidential race.
