The democrats need to run a regular Joe white man......think Andy Beshear.
Not a jewish man like Shapiro...not a gay man like Pete...not a woman like Kamala or Gretchen. Hate to say it but not a black man like Moore.
Joe white man in 2028 in order to get elected by swing voters esp in the MidWest and bring the power back to the dems in order to fix the mess that Trump and MAGA have caused
I've been saying this all along
Able to get things done that both sides can agree on
